>Beyond reported fiscal third-quarter net income of $4.1 million, or 6 cents per share, up from a loss of $9.3 million, or $1.45 per share, a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv were expected earnings of 3 cents per share.

>Net sales rose 250% to $92 million, topping expectations of $82.2 million. The company saw sales grow across both its grocery and restaurant divisions, as its meatless meats drew in more customers and kept existing customers coming back.

You can get heart disease from being obese or having too much refined sugar, both of which are possible on a vegan diet. Animal products don't really seem to cause much of an issue if you stay at a normal weight.

I'm betting vegans will stop trying to push the health benefits once lab-grown meat is available though because the moral issues are the main reason people go vegan, not health.

People have been trying to find a way to replace the slaughter of animals for a long time. Winston Churchill predicted lab-grown meat, Hitler wanted to replace meat with soybeans.

The reason it's growing is because we're getting closer to acceptable alternatives compared to 20~ years ago when most of it still tasted like shit, it's not because of Jews you stupid nigger.

Everything us humans do to this planet is harmful, but some forms of energy production are less so (or less wasteful) than others. You may not like lab-grown meat (neither do I), but that doesn't make it some wasted endeavor. Your analogy is wrong, primarily, because the premise of your statement, "electric cars are bad hurr," is wrong: taking baby steps to wean ourselves off of old technology (or old means of food production) is a good thing. It may not be "the most efficient," but improved efficiency is better than stagnating under the umbrella of old technology forever just because (YOU) don't like it.

And, if you want to get butthurt about destructive mining practices, don't pick and choose: they all suck, though many are necessary (in the world as we know it now).

That won't happen if you eat lean meats in moderate (not too large) quantities. A good diet should include some meats. Not large amounts, and many people in the West eat far too much meat these days. But you do need some meat - as I'm sure you're aware, the only source of Vitamin B12 in the typical human diet is meat. Hence why vegans have to take B12 supplements, made from microorganisms. Meat of course gives you a complete protein as well which is very difficult to get with plant sources. There are only a couple of supposedly complete proteins in the plant world and they're not very good, they don't provide all the amino acids in the same quantities and proportions as meat does.

Otherwise, most omnivorous people in developed countries obtain enough vitamin B12 from consuming animal products, including meat, milk, eggs, and fish.
