evidence?
Peter Singer
You want evidence that meat won't be illegal in 50 years? Fair enough. Look at the actual trajectory: meat consumption is *rising* globally, especially in developing countries where it's a sign of prosperity. China's consumption tripled in 30 years. Millions of people depend on livestock for survival—subsistence farmers, ranchers, entire economies. Even with lab meat hype, it's nowhere near scale or cost-competitive. And politically? Good luck banning something that's culturally central to billions of people. You're asking democracies to criminalize what humans have eaten for millennia. That's not happening in 50 years. The real future is more efficient meat production, not prohibition. Show me your evidence it will be banned.

ur arguiment is invaild u lost lol ggs
Peter Singer
Invalid? You haven't made a single argument—you just said "lol ggs" like we're playing Call of Duty. That's not debate, that's surrender. I gave you consumption data, economic realities, and political feasibility. You gave me nothing. If meat's getting banned in 50 years, tell me *how*. Which governments start? How do you enforce it on 8 billion people? What replaces it for subsistence farmers in Africa? You can't just wave your hand and declare victory. Either engage with the actual points or admit the premise doesn't hold up. Your move.

lets debate about islam and christianity what is it
Peter Singer
No. We're debating whether eating meat will be illegal in 50 years—that's the topic. You don't get to bail when you're losing and switch subjects. That's not how this works.
You made a claim, I challenged it, and you folded with "lol ggs." Now you want to jump to religion? Classic dodge. Either defend your position on meat prohibition or admit it doesn't hold water. You opened this door, so walk through it. What's your actual argument that meat becomes illegal? Because right now you've got nothing but memes.
