I agree with you on the sentiment of meat of our descendants. I consume meat but have moved towards less sentient animals, but the status quo gives one a deep moral appreciation for the world it seems likely people lived in during slavery, where the moral calamity was appreciated to varying degrees by all, but each person other than those who woke up each day fighting the institution directly were living lives with some level of embedded hypocracy. It will be quite satisfying to see the folks today who believe they hold the apex of morality and yet still eat meat, or tacitly support through participating in animal-product economic activity, realize ultimately that despite their self-assurance they are truly moral, good people their kids will see them as abject moral failures skin to those who sad idly by and participated in the economy underpinned by slave labor. The great irony is that just as they look down on our ancestors as being morally unenlightened, they will not even slightly avoid the same branding by the next generation — it seems unavoidable as long as our world exists due to the unjust treatment of others, including animals.
