The primary reason for my keen interest in lab meat is its astounding potential to save animals. While Viva! has worked incredibly hard to spark a vegan revolution in the UK, it is important to remember that over one billion land animals are killed on our island.

In 2018, the number of vegans hit two million and vegetarians and non-meat eaters sky-rocketed to almost one third of the population (Waitrose survey, 2018). But we have a way to go before convincing the entire nation and world to be vegan.

There are about 1.4 billion people in China and an almost equal number in India, where meat consumption is also rising.
