The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has published a new report which tells Irish over 65s to eat more meat, fish, dairy and eggs.
The report claims that this age group needs ‘high-quality protein to stimulate muscle protein’, recommending animal products to achieve this.

This guidance is strange, considering popular meat replacement Quorn protein was found to be equivalent to animal protein for muscle synthesis.

Slaughter-free, lab-grown sausages could be available to Brits from next year after scientists developed a new way of growing meat.
Technology pioneered by Oxford University is being used to harvest muscle and fat cells from pigs to be turned into pork sausages.
Cells are taken from an anaesthetised pig and grown in water tanks known as bioreactors, where they are fed nutrients before being harvested.

This summer, The American Vegan Center will open in Philadelphia, PA—the city where the United States vegetarian and vegan movements began. The new vegan welcome center will feature a store (selling everything from vegan books to T-shirts to Philadelphia-specific vegan souvenirs), event space, and information center that will offer Old City vegan history tours to promote cruelty-free living to tourists and the general public. Situated near the home of Benjamin Franklin (who introduced America to tofu), the center is operated by The American Vegan Society (AVS), the longest-running vegan advocacy organization in the US, in partnership with vegan columnist Vance Lehmkuhl, the author of Eating Vegan in Philly.​
