Vegans of Lemmy, would you eat lab-grown meat?
The main reasons I've seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don't have anything to do with the taste of meat.
Since lab-grown meat doesn't cause animal suffering, and assuming mass production is environmentally friendly, would you consider going back to eating meat if it were the lab-grown kind?

Oh, better to eat only broccoli. In the third world, with poop of human cow pig. With a lot of antibiotics, pesticides and other chemicals.
Did I really trigger you so badly that your feeble hormone addled carivore brain tried to get you to think about eating broccoli?
Wow. New vegan power unlocked.
Every time I see someone shitting on vegans and saying they're all assholes I always stick up for them and say I see way more aggressively assholish people arguing for eating meat and in fact I haven't seen any asshole vegans.
Thanks for breaking my streak and making it so I can't say that anymore without it being a lie...
What makes me an asshole here?
Just fyi, when I’m trying to stem the flow of vegan hate I see online, I find way, way, way more success in not being an obnoxious asshole. It’s a stupid trend, bashing and shitting all over vegans and vegetarians saying the habit is a good thing. Don’t make it harder for everyone else to get on board with this kind of shit.
Did you mean to reply to me?
…yes. Did you read what I said? Because it should be clear I mean you.
So you think vegans should passively put up with bullshit from trolls and never poke fun back? Why?
Are you-
Um. I don’t know what’s even happening here. How do you not get what I’m saying.
Or put another way: “it’s best when trying to make sure not everyone hates a good cause, to not be a total dick.” (Read: you’re being a total dick and not helping your cause.)
“I understand it’s a stupid trend that people on the internet hate vegans and anyone speaking positively about veganism/vegetarianism.”
“You’re making sticking up for veganism/vegans much harder by, as mentioned before, being a dick.”
Get it now?
If you have less respect for vegans because you saw a vegan once took the piss out of a carnist troll on an internet forum... you do realise that's fucking pathetic of you right?
That’s…not what I’m saying. At all. Are you…reading what I’m writing? I literally can’t make it any clearer.
You, (as in you, the person I’m talking to) are being a dick (a douchebag, a pissant, an annoying prick). And you being a dick (douchebag, pissant, et. al) makes trying to stop others (other people on the internet; people who are not you; meat eaters) from hating all vegans (other people; not yous who also happen to subscribe to and live the vegan lifestyle).
You being a dick makes vegans look like assholes. And looking like assholes makes people hate vegans even more. Stop it.
So in order to placate the meat eating masses, vegans should never talk back to the meat headed trolls?
Bruh a vegan having good comebacks to trolling isn't going to tank the cause and my putting a troll in their place with a good quip isn't going to make the meat eating bigots hate vegans any more or less. They're going to hate us anyway, so why not let some vegans enjoy fucking with them back?
Or you know, just get the fuck over yourself and stop trying to control people.
No. In order to help…yknow…the earth? The animals? Why is this so much about other people for you?
Why are you vegan? For yourself? For clout? As I mentioned…like, three or four times…my whole idea is to help promote the good idea. Not you, not others. And you’re standing in the way of a good thing because you can’t get the fuck over yourself.
So you promote this good thing by shitting on other vegans and acting as if you make the rules? Lmao, you're really making us look so great infront of the meatheads.
I'm not sure you've thought this through tbh.
No.
No. Like, what is your damage?
For real. How are you not understanding what I’m saying?
I’m saying you’re not doing veganism any favors by being a dick. Holy shit, I literally have run out of ways to put what I’m saying. I’d like to see the idea stop getting shit on by people online. And people like you, being a dick, make that unlikely. Veganism is already facing an uphill battle in the likeability/image department, thanks to organizations like PETA and their annoying, obnoxious antics. You, being a dick about veganism makes that hill even steeper. Are you…grasping this yet?
