LINK Some Catholics Are Eating Plant-Based Burgers to Avoid Eating “Meat” on Fridays | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

For Catholics who celebrated Lent yesterday, they’re also supposed to abstain from eating meat on Fridays until Easter. (Hey, don’t ask me to explain religious logic.)
But that rule raises an interesting question: What if a practicing Catholic eats a plant-based burger?

That wouldn’t be the weirdest thing I’ve heard about Catholics this month.

It's made from soy, not flesh, but a more interesting question might be: Can they eat meat made from cells grown in a lab, and not from an animal? Scientists are starting to do this now as a way to eliminate the suffering and pollution from animal factory farming (not that Catholics are especially big on science).
