Hi, I am a vegan have you ever tried to go without meat products?
I have not but I have friends that have.  I have a friend who is vegitarian because he respects life
Very nice, I am trying veganism because I want to be more healthy and I'm hoping lab grown meats help in my journey.
Do you consider yourself and "ethical vegan"?  Where you do not use any animal products
No I don't consider myself ethical because I used to really enjoy meat and will possibly return to it at some point.
I know that veganism can help with the risk of heart disease
Yes, and many animal food products apparently raise the risk for heart disease. I think that disease is a number 1 killer in the USA. 
There are lots of heart diseases, such as stroke, arrhythmia, thrombosis, and cardiomyopathy
