newsgirlinos2, you have really misunderstood the meaning of veganism. It is not about perfection, it's about compassion and reducing the suffering as much as humanly possible. Your explanation about bees is disturbingly wrong. I wonder where you get all that information and what is your reasoning?
And to answer the original question, a completely vegan world is fully possible, not in our lifetime though unless all meat eaters stop being ignorant. But we can see from history that ignorance dies hard and slow. Although it *does* die.
Most of us vegans who decide to have kids one day, will raise them vegan. Most of them will remain vegan as adults, and in turn have vegan children. This way veganism is definitely going to spread. Also to remember, most of vegans today, (like moi) are ex- meat eaters. So it is possible for people to open their minds and change their ways.
Also, Internet makes it possible for people to see and share information that wasnt manipulated by the meat industry. We dont depend on local versions of "the truth" anymore, where tv ads tell us what's best for us. We'll see even more of that independence from the collective mind, in the future. Once an ideal is born it cant be destroyed.

I'm not sure if it is in the near future or a fully vegan world would be possible.
Many people do not wish to do things that may make them actually get up and do something.
I'm vegan and I know the spread of the idea of veganism is spreading and I think it's for the better.
Veganism is such a better alternative to what we're doing right now.
A retort to most of the arguments against the rise of veganism:
- I'm vegan and I've always been healthy. I do not suffer at all from a lack of protein or anemia or any other physical ailment from lacking a balanced diet. Those who do veganism right are far more healthy then a person whom is not. Veganism decreases the risk of heart disease and cancer by 50%. It also has a lot less cholesteral in it then a meat eating diet.
- We were not meant to eat animals, Otherwise why would we get cholesteral? A true meat-eater does not have an ounce of cholesteral from eating other animals.
- The practices in which animals are killed is wrong and the things which they do is unforgivable. There is no reason at all to treat another living creature the way that factory farms do. NO REASON AT ALL.
- The effects that factory farms and other means of garnering meat hurts the enviroment, and it is the leading cause of the detiriation of the O-Zone layer.
I see a more vegan-friendly world coming in the future, we've already made huge steps since the idea really started spreading again in the 20th century. The idea is spreading and I believe for a greater good.
Check out the source, It's very well written and I've checked all the facts. I wish it weren't, but it's all true.

You people make me sick. For one thing, plants are living organisms too. To discriminate them from animals in your diet is just plain hypocritical. You're eating something that was, at one time, growing and flourishing - until one of you fools violently gutted it out of the earth by the roots. By your stupid set of rules, the only thing you should be eating is pills. When you kill a plant, it dies. End of story. You're eating dead things. And why do you think the rest of the world is NOT vegan? Because its senseless! I disagree with cruelty to animals, but only if the produce is not being used for something. If you are eating the edible parts, then it is in no way wrong. God gave men the animals and specifically said that they were to be under our control. And don't you dare get off talking about society and social standards, because you people don't fit in on ANY consistent level. Society has been using animals for food since the first animals were placed on this earth. You want cruelty to animals? Try blood sacrifices. Try slaughtering animals for sacrifice on altars. That used to be a BIG part of society - because religion has, up until a few centuries ago, been a controlling factor in social affairs. In times past, you people would have the stigma of a necrophiliac today. And rightfully so. You talked about sitting around and thinking you dont need to be powerful physically, but your brain is all powerful because you don't eat meat. Well, I thought about it, and I tell you what, I'll eat meat AND vegetables and have both. By your rules, I'll be stronger AND smarter than your malnourished spawn. Sorry mate, if your ways and actions weren't so hypocritical maybe I would consider your philosophy.

Only if all the meat eaters were sent to another world or if we vegetarians and vegans got together and divided the world into2 worlds one for Vegans and the other for meat eaters. Let the meat eaters have a smaller size world cause they don't let animals live. Vegans need a larger size planet than meat eaters cause more animals would live in a Vegan world than a meat world!
I'm a vegetarian but near vegan! I eat the occasionally eggs and drink dairy milk when it's cheaper than non-dairy milk.. Currently non-dairy milk comes out cheaper! Eggs are now too expensive now to eat them more than 3x a month.
Eggs aren't necessary.. but they taste good!
So Yes a vegan world could be possible!

I don't know how near the vegan future is but it is coming closer and there will be hopefully soon be a time when it gets hard to find meat in stores and hopefully the burger places will disappear (McDonald's, Whataburger, Burgerkind). There is no hygene and there is so much unhealthy stuff in the burgers people should know about.

Society as a whole would have to shift to a higher state of consciousness. Judging by how many people see war as a necessary measure of solving one's problems, I doubt it will happen in this lifetime or the next.
I take a more personal conscious stance in not consuming meat other than for health reasons. Health, either for it or against it, is missing the bigger point.

Animals were created to be eaten by humans (most of them). Each person is on their own in this world. The environment cannot be totally controlled, its suppose to be this way. My family is on their own. Being a vegan now, you'll pay for it when you get older in your '60s. Veggies were not created to be eaten all the time, only as part of a balanced diet. Fruits are evil, look what fruit did to Adam & all mankind in the Garden of Eden. Life is too short to worry about dying.

According to vegan.org, fully 80% of all fruits and vegetables appearing in American grocery stores and markets are pollinated by CAPTIVE BEES. The philosophy of Veganism prohibits the ingestion or use of ANY product that is made from animal (including insects) flesh or is the result of animals being held captive in order to gather products at their expense.
Of course all meat products are Non-vegan. Products such as honey, milk and eggs are also considered non-vegan, and now in light of the widespread use of CAPTIVE BEES in all facets of fruit, vegetable and soy bean production, those products are now declared to be non-vegan.
The TRUE Vegan's diet may now consist of ONLY grains, rice(which do not use bee pollination) and water. No other fruit or vegetables will be allowed unless the grower is certified to be using wild bees exclusively in crop pollination.

well, probably not the near future. too many people eat meat. but you don't have to understand, just respect that others eat meat for a reason. it's healthy and if they didn't eat the animals, the population would go up and the animals would die anyway. only they would die a longer death of starvation because there won't be enough food. being vegetarian or vegan is nice, but meat is ok to eat too. and don't use the4 comeback"it's like eating a friend" or something like that because it isn't.

The only reason why I don't think it would work is because people are selfish and not ready to listen or give up things. It goes for a lot of things in America.
