Is in vitro grown meat considered vegan? :slight_smile:

3

Artificially grown meat is initially taken from an animal source, and I don’t think it is really vegan. But it is my opinion.
By vegan products that substitute meat I mean various processed products made of vegan ingredients that taste and feel like meat and are rich in proteins. :slight_smile:

what are the vitamins that the VEGAN products have? and what are the difference between Vegan Products that substitute meat and a true meat in terms of vitamins or nutrition?does it good to our health if we substitute meat to a Vegan product?
