Eating meat will be illegal in 50 years

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Eating meat will be illegal in 50 years". Your opponent's style: Peter Singer

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Your fifty-year prediction rests on a fantasy: that technology and regulation can overpower biological reality and economic incentive. Meat consumption is rising globally, not falling. India and China are developing protein appetites that dwarf Western veganism. Lab meat remains commercially unviable at scale. No democratic government bans a food staple that billions depend on for nutrition and livelihoods. You're mistaking activist momentum for inevitable law. The gap between what idealists want and what actually gets legislated is where your argument collapses. Show me the mechanism that gets meat banned across democracies before I take this seriously.
