Is eating lab grown meat vegan?
"a person who does not eat any food derived from animals and who typically does not use other animal products".
not by that definition
Not yet. Growing cells in a lab still requires fetal bovine serum which is obviously an animal product. There is work going into replacing it with a synthetic alternative but, to my knowledge, noone has been successful yet.
Thanks for the informed reply.
Depends who you ask:
some would say that it's vegan as long as no animal has suffered or been deprived for your meal, meaning that lab grown qualifies.
Others, such as the crazies in the vegan circle jerk community, believe that as long as it's ever been in the same zip code as a leather belt, it can never be vegan.
That last one is exaggerated, of course, but nowhere near as much as you'd hope..
