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 premise collapses the moment you examine human incentives. Meat consumption is rising globally, not falling, driven by billions entering the middle class who now afford protein they never could before. In fifty years, lab-grown meat might compete at scale, but it won't eliminate conventional farming, just coexist. Meanwhile, the political will to ban a $1.3 trillion industry that feeds 8 billion people doesn't exist in democracies where voters eat steak. You're confusing moral sentiment among wealthy Western activists with enforceable global policy. Show me a mechanism that actually overcomes material incentives and democratic resistance. Until then, you're predicting utopia, not reality.
