unfortunately, anti-GMO, anti-vax, anti-science etc. is becoming more and more synonymous with the vegan community. The "what other beliefs does this vegan hold" bingo is becoming more and more disillusioning.

And yet one of the most successful vegan companies recently genetically engineered soy beans to produce heme.

With the introduction of ethical meat riding on the back of GMO & science I bet we'll see an emergence of very different forms of veganism.

I've slowly reduced my meat & dairy consumption, but haven't eliminated it. This year I have almost entirely eliminated cow meat from my diet (probably ate ~100-200 grams this year for cultural reasons), but am highly anticipating the impossible burger 2 coming to local restaurants.

Good for you! More people need to realize this is an option. Too many in the vegan community and elsewhere push a "all or nothing" approach which is harmful to the movement overall. People don't do well with totally changing their lifestyle overnight. Slow and steady is the key to long term adoption.
