I'm really hoping that lab grown meat will be available soon. I have a weird genetic issue where my body doesn't like to absorb certain vitamins from food so I get basically nothing from raw veggies, negligible amounts from cooked veggies, and a tiny bit more from meat, eggs and dairy.

I take prescription vitamins, but according to my Dr I need to eat meat/animal products with them or risk going into a deficiency again... the last time I was deficient I had seizures and serious neurological issues.

I hate the meat industry and factory farming, but also want my brain to function and to not have seizures.

Lab grown meat will solve this dilemma for me.

I also have severe malabsorption and can't process most veg at all. I have been told hundreds of times that I am lying, and that I don't need to eat meat. To some of these people it is better for us to suffer than to eat meat, while they claim to subscribe to a philosophy of reducing suffering.

Yeah, it's frustrating to say the least.

If I went vegan I'd probably suffer a very slow, agonizing death from my brain going haywire and seize until I go into psychosis and die. If my body could take it I'd probably be a vegetarian and eat only local eggs and cheese, but it's a bad idea according to my doctor. It sucks.
