My take (as a vegan):

  • Most lab grown meat still has animal product input so it's not vegan
  • In the event that they replace that part of the production, there's still a good chance it gets tested on animals to get GRAS (generally recognized as safe) certification from the FDA. I don't eat e.g. Impossible or Just, both of which tested their food on animals to get the certification.
  • If there existed a way of synthesizing meat that didn't have animal products as input and was never tested on animals, I'd be very excited about it from the perspective of getting omnis to stop killing animals for their flesh or secretions. I probably wouldn't eat it because of the ick factor, plus health reasons, but I think it would be vegan.

I also don't think that waiting for lab grown meat before going vegan is a morally defensible position in general.

I'm suuuuuuper late to the party (is necrobumping a thing here? If so sorry!) but one tip for this setup is to not fill the bottles all the way. If you have a bit more headspace in the bottle, it's more effective to shake it and more CO2 dissolves in my experience.

Beyond that, having a high enough pressure for the part going into the bottle is important. I normally use 45 psi or so and that gets me the right kind of prickly water for my tastebuds.

I know you said you don't have it anymore, but just in case you wanna try again at any point in the future or just for people reading this, figured this might be useful.

Seems to scroll fine for me on my Don't Be Evil Pixel 5. Is your phone more than, say, 4-5 years old?

I'm not sure it's the most bergamot flavour, but I've always really liked the Sadaf earl grey loose leaf tea: https://www.sadaf.com/products/sadaf-special-blend-earl-grey-tea-44-6150

If you leave it to sit out in a pitcher uncovered for like 30 minutes the chlorine taste goes away

Best of luck to Trader Joe's Union though! Fuck capitalists, fuck companies that pretend saying that "we're like a family here!" is a good substitute for paying a living wage.
