Assuming it becomes a viable product, I wonder how it'll impact veganism? Since there's no animal cruelty.

In theory, veganism is only opposed to conscious animals that didn't consent to being eaten, so I see no reason why they'd be opposed
That's one variety of veganism, but hardly the only reason to go vegan.
Do you care to expand on that?
Sure. While animal welfare is a popular reason to go vegan, so is environmentalism βmy own reasonβ and so is personal health. If the lab-grown meat is worse for the environment than a plant-based diet, people concerned about the environment will still choose the latter.

Why not?
Of course not, I want my food to suffer.
Sure, why not? I don't eat meat currently but I'd prolly throw in a lab burger or two occasionally if they were available
You asked this question in all seriousness but all I can hear is:
Crickets
The smell of the critters is enough to make my skin crawl.
You know the difference between a white vegan/vegetarian vs a non white, they don't try to find something that tastes exactly like a meat. There are a lots and lots of dishes that are 100% vegan/vegetarian and taste much much better and don't pretend to be meat of any sort.
If you are so tempted by the taste of the meat then just eat it.Environment isn't going to get any better just because you stopped eating meat, the animal cruelty isn't going to stop because of you.

100% yes.
Yes.
No, I'll stick to my delicious plants. I don't really like meat.
