Eating meat will be illegal in 50 years
Debate between a user and Peter Singer on DebateAI.org
Daily Debate #552: "Eating meat will be illegal in 50 years". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Peter Singer.
Eating meat will not be illegal in 50 years and anytime because meat is the standard food for proteins and meat and meat has been accustomed to people as the main food, while there has been some alternative there will be no best alternative that is even close to meat with taste and nutritional benefits
You're confusing tradition with inevitability. Slavery was the standard for millennia, yet it vanished. The argument "we've always done it" collapses the moment something better arrives. Plant-based proteins now match meat nutritionally, and lab-grown meat is scaling rapidly. Your real claim is that taste matters more than ethics or environment, which is precisely why legislation exists—to override individual preference when collective harm is too great. Why should your palate trump planetary survival?
