Islamic scholars consulted by a leading producer of cultivated meat say that the newfangled protein — which is grown from animal cells and doesn’t require animals to be slaughtered — can be halal, or permissible under Muslim law.
And the Jewish Orthodox Union this month certified a strain of lab-grown chicken as kosher for the first time, “marking a significant step forward for the food technology’s acceptance under Jewish dietary law,” as the Times of Israel put it.
I agree with almost everything you’ve said, but God I wish there was a way vegans could come across as anything other than preachy and annoying.
If you agree with almost everything, would it be worthwhile to find a wording which preserves the good content while ditching the bad form?
I also wonder how much of the annoying part is the speaker, and how much of it is the reluctance of listeners to question themselves.

You’re on fire in this thread, you make me wish I could subscribe to a user on Lemmy.
It’s tough changing minds in general, especially when the topic entails labeling your past and likely present self a serial animal abuser. Something most vegans went through already and had to overcome.
At least it comes from a place in the heart, and not a rub it in your face, “I’ll eat two cows because you aren’t having any!”, ignorance.
