Two U.S. food companies have received the go-ahead to sell chicken grown from cultivated animal cells in a production facility. It's the first time meat grown this way will be sold in the U.S.

I wonder if it would be considered vegan? Technically not harming an animal, right?

It depends on whether you consider the conditions under which the original cells were donated as part of the product.

To be honest it feels like making perfect the enemy of good if the initial cell lines able to support billions of cows worth of meat without killing those cows at the sacrifice of a few cows in the first place. But there are plenty of idealists out there who would reject that train of thought, so oh well.

But we'll get there either way.

Sure but vegans can already eat other food just fine without needing this.
