There are a lot of interesting ethical questions and how strict one should be about their veganism etc. I’m not judging, because it’s up to the individual to decide where the line is drawn. Personally I think labgrown meat is interesting and if it could become a way to have meat in the future and avoid most of the problems we see today, then I’m all for it.
I’m also not a vegan myself, but have cut pork out of my life and rarely eat beef. Mostly stick to chicken and veggie alternatives so I know the endless consideration of where the limit goes. We can only do our best at the end of the day.
But yeah, I just find the subject of lab grown meat interesting in how a vegan would handle that concept - which is different from person to person, I’m sure.
Ho yeah. I’m not vegan, I’ve been a vegetarian for the most part of my life now but I was alwaya quite lucid: I am not vegan because I do not have the courage to be. It is extremely easy to be a vegetarian in a rich country in 2026 but it still is not to be vegan.
Socially, vegetarian is acceptable and even often seen as brave or whatever. You can easily not eat meat when you’re invited or go out to eat. Veganism is often seen as extreme and it is hard to eat out or get invited.
I have sadly had my own run ins with the stereotype of a crazy vegan more than once due to the type of social environment I am connected to. There are some very extreme and annoying vegans out there, but honestly, I feel like times have changed enough these past ten years that I run in to way more normal and reasonable vegans nowadays. Veganism and the political issues they have been focused on for a long time are becoming more and more normal - at least where I live - so the crazy vegans are slowly being drowned out more and more by normal people who are either going vegan or choosing more vegan options.
I see shops and restaurants becoming more and more accommodating to vegan options so I think in the future, it will become much easier to go vegan both socially and practically.
Ofc, as almost everything in life, it comes with a “it depends”.

Yeah I get you.
