RE: How I went from being a hardcore meat eater to a passionate vegan - Part Two

in #veganism8 years ago

So crazy to see other people going the same way as I did also in terms of philosophy :) very cool. What is your stand on meat created in the lab out of stem cells? Is this something you would eat, because no animal got hurt?
Interested to hear your thoughts.

Oh yeah? I'd love to hear your personal story sometime! I'm always thrilled to meet other liberty-minded veggie folks. Funny that you mentioned the cultured meat topic as I just had this conversation with a good anarchist friend of mine recently, after he brought up the SuperMeat initiative. Personally, I don't have any interest in eating cultured meat as I'm perfectly satisfied with my diet as it is now, but I have zero problem with meat eaters consuming it so long as the ethical promises being made (by not using fetal bovine serum, for instance) are fulfilled.

In fact, Mic the Vegan released an excellent video on this topic just recently:

If anything, I think cultured meat would be a great solution for the pet food problem that vegans face. Whatever can be done to render the cruel, wasteful, and inefficient animal agriculture system that we have today obsolete, is good in my book. This is why I'm very pro-entrepreneurialism; leave it to the inventors and entrepreneurs of the world to develop genius solutions to critical problems such as this one! :)
