Vegetarians/vegans vs non-vegans (the differences)

I don’t know much about this space because I’m not their target market, but I recently watched a Rich Roll podcast with the guy who is working on lab grown meat in the US… it was pretty interesting. Apparently it has been available in very limited quantities at a handful or restaurants due to cost and scalability

Lab-grown meat is not relevant to vegetarianism health differences… It’s probably not healthy. Real vegetarians (like Sabine H) will never miss the taste of meat and can do without lab-grown meat or meat substitutes.

[pls keep this thread on topic]

Widespread use of fake meat/meat substitutes is just going to reduce/contaminate the positive health differential between vegetarians and omnivores

Yes there is, I’ve pointed out some in the SSC post above. And TruDiagnostic’s cohort now…
