Does anyone else sense that meat-eating is on the way out?

Just try to pry this burger from cold dead hands.

I'll hopefully never see the day meat is banned.
only thing being is when you ban or legislate against something, demand for it rockets up.

As above posts say, it'll be an extremely luxurious product for the rich.
Further downstream it will just not enter the equation for consumers.

Tofu for all!
 
Sensing its on its way out, hell no. Theres nothing suggesting this.

In several hundred years, then yes i can see artificial meat being standard, but real meat will always be available.

Its likely that population will stabilise well below 10billion anyway, so the scaremongering most people think wont happen.

And as for morals/animal rights. I can happily eat meat and have morals and endorse animal rights.

No if we go by your logic looking back over time meat has always been important even cavemen? I think the meat has been more refine in terms of farming methods!

Slavery and organized rape was important too up til very recently. I mean 500 years ago you could have gone down the pub and said to your mates hey let's get the boats in the water this weekend and go on a raping trip somewhere. Slaves were bought and sold the way cars are now. Africans and women were just a commodity, like animals still are. It was unthinkable that it would ever be banned.
 
Man can't make or obtain all he needs from nonmeat sources.
B12 isn't available in seaweed to the entire worlds population, so they eat meat.
They will continue to do this, or suffer from starvation by vitamin depletion.

Either that or full chemical diets.

Nope. And people will soon realise than refined foods are also bad, and hopefully people will start to eat well again.

Meat is a refined food when you think about it. It's a cow refining and condensing grass in to proteins. It's hugely inefficient too as someone already mentioned when you consider how much fossil fuels and water it requires. We just need to figure out how to do that without the animal "middle man".

You cannot compare slavery and rape to foods can you?


Sticking to meat eating it has been and always will, even with changes to hygiene and cooking methods meat has always been meat and always will!

It's veggies they tried banning isn't it? I'm sure they have for looking deformed or penis shape

I am actually surprised how many people can't see it.
I don't think it will be banned, it will more likely go the way of smoking.

And yes meat farming is massively inefficient, water alone is required in horrendous amounts


I don't really see it as much different in the way we look at it now as to how we looked at slavery when it was acceptable

Remember it's both killing an animal and a huge use of energy at the same time
