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

Disagree

You're right to disagree, but you've got the direction wrong. Meat won't be illegal in 50 years because people simply won't accept it. Look at veganism now—it's been pushed for decades and barely cracks 5% adoption. Meanwhile, global meat consumption keeps rising, especially in developing countries where it signals prosperity and health. Governments don't ban what billions demand. They'd face riots. And culturally? Meat eating is woven into human identity across every civilization. You're asking me to believe democratic societies will criminalize Sunday roasts and family barbecues. That's not policy, that's fantasy. What's your actual argument for why this happens?
