    i dont think its viable in scale. maybe for specific needs its an optimal choice. you still need biopsies to get cells from animals, so i would say its more vegetarian than vegan (so its still exploitative to animals). in general people can already have a vegan diet today. theres no need to invent anything.

      What if we use a stock culture?

        if there was a way to totally not have animals in the process, then yes it would be technically vegan. maybe it will be super viable. but again, i think on a mass scale it is more efficient to just produce crops. communal agriculture is dead simple. while lab-cultivation requires lab equipment, which needs a whole new production process. you need to think about accessibility also, and its hard to beat accessibility of seeds and ground.

          Accessibility is not an issue in a globalist system, which socialism inevitably will be. Any limitations to accessibility are largely artificial and driven by profit motivations, not logistical or access concerns.

          Does agriculture also not require the production of sophisticated equipment? Tractors, fertilizers, pesticides, harvesters, automated sorters, plant inoculations, packaging equipment, and the like? Virtually every process in modern society requires technologically intensive production lines whether the end product be medication, toys, vehicles, computers, furniture, or shoes.
