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?

If it's not wasteful/polluting to produce it, I don't see why not

Still need to investigate the sustainability of it before I would try, but presently there's no produce on sale here. But I'm pretty used to dishes without meat by now, so there's no direct need. I suppose it would be more targeted towards current meateaters, hopefully they stop destroying life on the planet at some point.

I, a meat eater, and you, presumably not, will both continue to destroy life on this planet for as long as we exist.

Causing no damage isn’t really an option for one who exists.
