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.

Listen, the premise is fundamentally flawed. Meat won't be illegal in 50 years because there's no political mechanism to achieve it. You're confusing technological possibility with democratic reality. India—the world's largest vegetarian population—still has massive meat consumption growing among the middle class. Even in Europe, where environmental concern runs deepest, meat bans face overwhelming public resistance. Governments respond to voters, not idealists. And voters like eating meat. You'd need a totalitarian shift in democratic nations or a miraculous plant-based product that tastes identical for a tenth the price—neither happens in five decades. The trajectory isn't prohibition, it's reduction through choice, not law.
