When you say extraction, what specifically? Energy? Any specific non-energy resources?
for all mammalian eukaryotic cells ie cow , chicken ,human etc require growth media that contains FBS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_bovine_serum this extracted from the foetus of cattle, otherwise the cells cannot survive outside of the a live mammal. it is not vegan or vegetarian in the slightest
I’m curious how other vegetarians and vegans feel about eating lab-grown meat? My gut reaction to this is “yuck, meat” [1]. I’ve been following lab-grown meat for a while and haven’t been able to get over this feeling, and for that reason I don’t think I’ll include it in my diet as a vegetarian. Intellectually I know that no animal was killed to produce it, but after going without meat for so long I just find the tho…
Focusing only on the opinions about other people: eventually, there is going to be less meat. They're going to get less of this physiologically delightful thing. It's inevitable.
For like 4-8% of the population, like me, they don't need the delight of meat. Fine. But that still leaves 92% who eat meat as long as it is possible to do so. It will be interesting to see how many people become vegan not because of any moral reason, but because it helps them e.g. cope with extraordinarily high prices.

I guess you don't use electricity either because of logging and coal mining. What about the internet and all those resources needed for the data centra?
Those who abstain from activities that are cruel to animals avoid those things, indeed. Of course we won't hear from them here, for obvious reasons.

Right, so obviously you're not one of them. No need to virtue signal.
Sorry that I let out your little secret that animals are harmed in the process of resource extraction. I don't think it was ever much of a secret, though.

As an omnivore and lifelong enjoyer of meat, the modern meat alternatives like beyond or impossible are great. They don’t reheat well, but the macros are good and they’re super tasty when fresh.
The older stuff tho, yuck. Tastes funky and the macros are all wrong. Much prefer cottage cheese as a protein source, no fake meat required.
And that’s my main gripe with fake meats: there’s a whole world of amazing delicious vegetarian meals that don’t need meat fake or otherwise. I’d much rather have those than a fake steak.

Throw me into whatever category we want to call this. If 1 animal dies and all of humanity can stop eating meat, I'm happy to do that. Heck I'd sacrifice myself for such a value. But it sounds like this is a ~1 time prick of an animal, who could be sedated, and after that, you don't need the animal again. I want to be vegan because of cruelty, but not eating meat because it came from a pricked animal 1 time in histor…
> If 1 animal dies and all of humanity can stop eating meat, I'm happy to do that. You still need resources to grow the meat, and many animals will be harmed and killed in the process of extracting those resources. Probably many more animals than would be harmed using traditional meat raising practices as when humans extract resources we like to strip things bare. Other animals tend to be a lot gentler on habitats. O…
This is an absurd stretch of the definition of veganism. If this were accepted, you couldn't call anyone living in any basic form of civilization vegan. It stretches the idea to a point of being useless.
No homes allowed, since their material extraction and the construction process harms animals. No bicycles, those factories harmed animals in being constructed.
Even Jaina live in buildings.

> At the current time, the label is positive marketing. In California, maybe? Has a transition to fake meat worked anywhere, commercially?
This would be real meat. Just to be clear 'beyond meat' is a bean that is fermented. This is animal cells grown in a lab.
I'm not sure if I agree with that.
It's definitely not real chicken.
