I hope lab meat is used to make pet food for cats and dogs… and some humans.

Some of Devindra's comments about vegan diets in this episode are harmful misinformation. 1. You do not "have to supplement a lot" (24:31) to be healthy on a vegan diet. Respected dietetic associations such as the British Diatetics Associated have recognized well-planned vegan diets as healthy for people of all ages. For vegans without health complications, the only required dietary supplement is vitamin B12, a supplement often recommended even for non-vegans. 2. The assertion that "you have to eat a lot of plants to gather the same amount of energy [compared to eating animals]" (28:35) is utter nonsense and highlights Devindra's ignorance on this topic. It is well established that diets including meat require more plant growth and consumption than plant-based diets, and as a result require increased land use and emit significantly more greenhouse gases. In general I think most podcast mistakes are fairly trivial and don't justify a response here on the Patreon page. But this subject matter is serious. When we spread untruths about plant-based diets we discourage folks from making a positive changes that would otherwise reduce oppression, suffering, and environment destruction. Let's encourage folks to make positive changes rather than spread misconceptions.
