Ask Lemmygrad

I was gonna argue that people like flavor and variety and while yes Indian vegetarians (important distinction since the west pushes veganism and dairy also adds a lot of variety) have a lot of variety in their cuisine, if you're asking a society already used to a vast breadth of animal products to just give them up, most people will miss that. Indians growing up vegetarian can't miss what they didn't already widely experience

But then i realized we don't need lab grown meat we just need better isolation and synthesis of the flavor compounds that are present because there's already a lot of good work done on recreating vegan meaty textures so if you can make those taste perfect then what's the point of actually growing it outside of, as you said, to engage in a profane necromantic ritual
