Are you just giving random examples or is regular Coke not vegan?

Regular coke is about as vegan as regular pickles.

Interestingly, if it's 'throwback' coke with white/processed sugar in it, it's NOT vegan, as animal products (mostly bone/etc.) are used in the production of that sugar. HFCS modern coke is generally considered vegan.

The Impossible Burger is made with wheat protein (source: the NPR article). If this is indeed gluten, then there's a lot of hopeful people that can't eat this burger, myself included.

Also, why call it wheat protein instead of gluten? That's like food manufacturers calling sugar 'cane juice'.

There wasn't any Internet wit in there. The problem stems from current livestock farming practices. Fixing that problem is far easier than trying to create lab grown meat, and in the end will be healthier as it doesn't require a change in our biological system. Do you really believe our body's are going to process 'fake meat' as 'real meat'? I am highly skeptical of that aspect as well. Furthermore, you have taken th…

What are you talking about? The burgers are made from plants and natural ingredients, it's not "lab grown meat" did you even read the article? Further more, if you think "fixing livestock farming practices" is easy, then you're missing the big picture issue where billions of people demand meat on their plate every day for little cost. The environmental cost of the meat industry is not on your average meat eater's min…

I read the article and made from plants and natural ingredients still requires a lab to get everything in the right state to get laboratory meat. Can you make this your kitchen with easily purchasable appliances? No. Lab produced meat. I can put a cow on my land and have meat pretty easily in a few months.

Personally, I buy a half of cow from a local farmer every year. The cow is raised in open fields that I have visited and feed an all grass diet. It comes out to $6.99 per pound.

Honestly, I don't do this to better then environment, that doesn't cross my mind in the least and probably never well, I do this because it provides better tasting meat and a better quality of life for the cow until the day of the slaughter house.

Meat is necessary to live a strong healthy life. Meat comes from an animal. Killing is necessary to eat meat. You can keep this processed food.

>And in america, at least, where meat-eating is tied to masculinity and bacon is worshipped, that's a tough stigma to shake. Being a picky eater is a childish trait, not sure how it became synonymous with "masculinity."

It didn't. Eating meat did. It has nothing to do with being picky.

It does when you insist on eating meat in literally every single meal, as many people do.
