Apparently, they'd like it very much. Why else would the vegan isles of food stores carry these products containing no meat but named (also, shaped and colored) after traditional meat dishes: "hickory BBQ riblets", chorizo, patties, burgers, meatballs, smart dogs, pulled pork, etc. The sight is pretty sickening considering one claims the reason for going vegan is "ethical".

The European Union may crack down on food labels to avoid conflation with meat products e.g. by insisting that 'veggie burgers' be called 'veggie discs'.

My favourite culinary experience is 'toad in the hole' followed by 'spotted dick'!

I guess most/all vegan "meat" is still plant based, the meat grown in lab is actually cultivated on animal cells.

It's not the only fashion craze pushed by the cabal onto us disposable sheeples, food made of insects is another trendy attempt in saving the planet from running into "thermal runaway".

Is this test-tube product even comparable to meat in terms of nutrition? Or is it just a vehicle to deliver synthetic analogues of some vitamins and other small, or not so small, molecules that are believed to to give meat its superior nutritional value? Essentially a designer food supplement pill.
It sounds incredible that it would take a finite amount of time and energy to faithfully reproduce the nutritional bounty of meat in a lab. Or that it can be done more energy-efficiently than farming. Farming is pretty hard to beat in terms of efficiency: Mother Nature has done all the hard work providing sources of energy and pushing forward (co)evolution. AFAIK, people haven't even been able to come up with artificial rennet to make authentic tasting cheeses.

Probably depends on the reasons they went vegan in the first place.
Vegans aren't some homogenous group of people with identical ideology. What you often see and hear are the social media cultist types, people who are absolutely convinced their way of life is the only one, and everyone who doesn't follow is either stupid or evil.
Reasons for being vegan may be ethics, health, environmental and a variety of other reasons and any combination of them. It would be downright stupid to assume all vegans think alike.
Perhaps we should make it clear that the Vegan Society is a registered charity which states these charitable objectives:
As of 31st December 2017, the charity had 9 trustees, 29 employees and 100 volunteers.
Income from charitable activities and donations for the year ending on the above date totalled £1.4M, while expenditure totalled £1.5M.

Would I be correct in suggesting that the Vegan Society is a comparatively small charity which draws a disproportionately large amount of attention?
That is interesting, thank you, as I keep saying it's not primarily a diet and I find it counterproductive when many vegans focus on diet and the environment. In fact there is a movement among some vegans to stop the erroneous health and environmental benefit claims as they think it doesn't help the cause.
