  • Whats the verdict on the lab grown burger?

    Is it vegan? It's taken from animal cells, but no living being killed or injured or harassed in the process...

    As far as I know, there are two parallel initiatives going on. One is taking actual animal cells as the basis for their product, and the other one is using plant-derived cells. I haven't made up my mind on it. Generally, I'm in favour of neither highly artificial approach and find both distasteful, although if pushed I'd probably 'prefer' the plant-derived one. It's not of any great importance to me personally, and with artificial product creation methods which might be suitable for mass production, part of me always worries about subsequent commercial exploitation.
