(Reuters) - Nearly 100 police were summoned to deal with 250 pro-Palestinian protesters who surrounded a Vancouver restaurant where Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was dining on Tuesday night, police said on Wednesday. Trudeau is under pressure from Palestinian supporters to push for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. "Vancouver police deployed nearly 100 officers Tuesday night to disperse a protest outside a Chinatown restaurant where the Prime Minister was dining," the force said in a statement. "Police assisted in controlling and dispersing the crowd, while the Prime Minister was escorted out of the restaurant." "Yesterday evening the Prime Minister was approached by demonstrators in Vancouver," spokesman Mohammad Hussain said by email but declined to comment further.

But first, the practical perspective: Neither company has yet had its US-approved cultivated chicken product certified as halal or kosher. Religious and ethical vegetariansBecause cell-cultured meat is developed from animal cells, it’s not considered vegetarian by Upside Foods or Good Meat. But people who don’t eat meat for animal welfare or environmental reasons may want to give cultivated meat a try.
