As somebody who has hereditary gout, shellfish and most meats are off limits to me (additionally, soy). So Beyond and Impossibru 'meats' are a godsend.
That said, I will, every now and then (usually once or twice a year), devote a couple hours to make a pot of shrimp etouffe (the first hour or so spent de-poopifying and skinning the spotted prawns my parents caught and beheaded before being tossed in my fridge).

The idea that anyone who chooses to participate in an industry that enslaves, tortures, and kills 100 billion sentient creatures a year can be highly concerned with ethics is really baffling to me. "But it tastes good" is not a strong ethical position.

You can certainly make an ethical argument about how human consumption vastly outpaces its production of natural resources, including food, but 'mammals enjoy eating meat' isn't an ethical position to start with.

sentient?
Almost all life is sentient to some degree, 'sapient' is the harder qualifier
Fucking plants are alive and react to harmful stimulus as well as they can with what they have. We're organic life, we have to consume other organic life to subsist, like all other organic life. It's not rocket surgery. Life is suffering.

Id get one of them plutonium slugs like what they got in them space rovers installed in my torso, they look like delicious super powered marshmallows and nobody cares about plutonium you can do whatever you want to it and nobody says nothin about ethics
After a few generations of perfect meatless meat replicas people won't even remember what or why we're making these things taste like and then things are going to get nuts.

This already happens with certain flavors I think. I think it was 'banana' flavoring is based on an extinct breed? Maybe others.
I think at the very least people could stand to reduce their meat intake or be more careful about where they get it but I'm not about to try and wade into a serious conversation about it because I honestly find the "for every burger you don't eat I'll eat three" type of comments really grating.

Eh, the only way people will change is when they’re forced to because the mass migrations genocides will halt farming and people be reduced to eating enriched protein tubes as they slaved away growing grubs at night and suffering the day heat in their bunk bed watching YouTube on their phones.
Just be glad you know a life of plenty. That you born in an era that will be considered a golden age.

yeah, banana flavoring is based off the Gran Michel, which is a version that was killed off because it was weak to a certain fungus. It's replacement, which is what we eat now, is resistant to that fungus but it tastes differently than the previous iteration.

Yes
sentient?
Just a bad person who happens to be a mother
Probably a bad one
Wait so are all ... human by-products considered non-vegan or...?

Eat at Arby's.
Even if science came up with the boneless chicken? the slug like creature that has chicken meat?
Is it a literal chicken hatched with no bones or a chicken flavored slug?
Cause yes to the former and possibly to the later
Escargot is good
plants can be reasonably argued to be sentient
sapience is the word you mean
also, get off your fucking high horse

The bones are made of feathers

Come Overwatch with meeeee
Every picture of a "fit" greyhound looks like it was prefaced with the sentence "What we found when we liberated the kennels..."

But for every animal they eat, I'll not eat 4!
