I would be very surprised if the mainstream of 50 years from now considered people "savages" for eating food the way it's been eaten since humans first started consuming meat, especially considering we don't have the technology to make lab-grown meat currently. People 50 years from now who still eat animal-grown meat might be savages, but current-day people just have a limitation.
How often do you look back in shame at people who did not use a cell phone in the 1960s? The answer is you don't. You understand that cell phones didn't exist back then and are glad technology has improved.
- jedberg 10y agoLook at something like slavery. We look back in shame now but back then it was just the norm as it had been since ancient times.
- isk517 10y agoI think much like ancient societies and slavery the judgement for meat eating wouldn't be based so much on the fact that we did it but more on the extent that we do it and methodologies we employee behind it.
- AQuantized 10y agoIn most developed nations it is not a requirement to eat meat to survive, or even to be healthy. We are not physically limited in being unable to stop consuming meat in the way someone in the '60s is limited in being unable to use a cell phone.
