Some vegans will be okay with it because the marginal animal suffering needed to produce each additional pound of meat is roughly zero. Some vegans will still not be okay with it because (pick any):

- It's still more energy intensive than plant-based foods.

- Meat, in general, doesn't meet their personal healthiness threshold.

- It's an unnatural way to produce meat with unknown health risks.

As a vegan I applaud every step towards the elimination of animal exploitation, this product might be a nice niche for transitioning but once you get accustomed to plant based whole foods you feel strange eating even “meat replacers” as for the environmental impact I don’t think it can get any worst than animal agriculture.

These 3 points are valid for non-vegans as well.

I'm a vegetarian here but still believe in a world of reduced animal suffering. This is definitely a step in the right direction so I'm all for it. Not that I'll be consuming it because it's still meat.
