First of, vegetarianism means not eating meat while veganism means not using animal products including eggs, honey, milk, leather, wool, etc. As someone else noted, apparently Wikipedia and other sources state there's a difference between vegan diet and vegan philosophy. Although imo if you just do not eat animal products but still use leather you're just following a plant based diet while not being vegan. Like some pro athletes, they have a plant based diet just because of sports and health, not because they care so much about animals and/or the environment.

But in the end it's just a matter of labeling. I don't really care about that, or whether people become full vegan. A sling as people become more aware of what they consume and reduce it a bit, that's already a win imo. People should find the way which works the best for them.

I'm would be a full vegan if not for one thing: cheese. I have barely no non-sugar alternatives to put daily on my bread so I still consume some cheese (which technically isn't even vegetarian). This works for me. Anyone who doesn't like it can suck it, I do so much but I need this thing in my life.

Some vegans might eat lab grown meat because it would fit in their life philosophy, some wouldn't. It all depends on why people chose to be vegan and what they are comfortable with.

I have no interest, as since I became vegan my meals have become so much more flavor rich as I'm using more herbs and spices and create my meals with more care. I'm fine with what I eat. But I think it's a nice development as meat eaters can continue what they do but more responsible and ethical.

Being vegan means not using animal products. That's different to a plant based diet. In sports a plant based diet became popular since a documentery on Netflix, but these people aren't vegan as they do use leather, wool and bees wax for example.

Birds and fish don't have meat?

There are a lot of interesting ethical questions and how strict one should be about their veganism etc. I'm not judging, because it's up to the individual to decide where the line is drawn. Personally I think labgrown meat is interesting and if it could become a way to have meat in the future and avoid most of the problems we see today, then I'm all for it.

I'm also not a vegan myself, but have cut pork out of my life and rarely eat beef. Mostly stick to chicken and veggie alternatives so I know the endless consideration of where the limit goes. We can only do our best at the end of the day.

But yeah, I just find the subject of lab grown meat interesting in how a vegan would handle that concept - which is different from person to person, I'm sure.
