This means now vegans can eat meat ?

That would depend on why one was a vegan. Some do it for health, some for various philosophical reasons.

For myself (vegetarian for philosophical reasons), if no plausibly sentient being was harmed to create this stuff, I'd likely have no ethical reasons against eating it.

I'd also add 'Yuck Factor' to that list. I'm not sure how IVM would effect this.

Some current fake meat has a notable Yuck Factor. :)

Vegans could even eat long pig... Norwegians and Japanese could eat whale. :-)

Anyone else thinking of "Transmetropolitan"?
