I am trying to cook some new recipes and have been experimenting with a few I have found online. I saw that THIS has released quite a few new products recently, and I had a craving for a carbonara and thought that these bacon lardons would be the perfect addition.

Can vegans eat lab grown meat?
The issue of lab grown meat has been quite a hot topic in recent years, mostly from the agriculture industry who obviously don't want to support this industry as it would put them out of business. I believe we are still a long way off lab grown meat being able for human consumption - lab … Continue reading Can vegans eat lab grown meat?
