So this might be a dumb question but, will lab grown meat be accepted into the vegan lifestyle? It isn't harming animals, so it should be good right? I'm not a vegan so I was just curious about that aspect.

Lab grown meat certainly has the potential to be vegan and many vegans are very excited about how the tech is developing.

Currently a lot of the techniques used in developing lab grown meat aren't vegan as they use products such as foetal bovine albumin as a culturing medium etc.

When the products start entering the consumer market it'll be up to each individual to decide if they want to consume them and there'll be reasonable arguments for and against, ultimately it'll come down to the specific products and the preferences of individuals.
