Very few Vegans would.
For one, once you go vegan, you lose your taste for meat. So not much
desire in the first place.

Finally - Vegans dislike GMO vegetables. I'm sure they'd feel the same
way about this.

Francis,
I basically agree. It also makes sense to me the time standard is an
atomic clock. My sense is that "time" in our dimensions is really just
the decay rate due to those particles popping in/out of the vacuum field,
triggering low level ionization and decay in our 3 dimensions. Rossi/DG
