- chucksmash 10y agoThat's a bit tangential. My point (which I stand by) is that eating meat is almost certainly not the epoch-defining evil in the world today the way slavery was for America in the 19th century. I've made no comment on whether we should or should not worry about it because there are umpteen worse things - just that the early 2000s aren't likely to be looked back on as the decades of the eaters of the flesh. Maybe I'm wrong...
