As we all know, medical science has proven that eating meat leads to health problems and eventually death. I do believe that eating meat will eventually be made against the law within the next 25 years. The UK government is already talking about it.
My question is this. Do you believe that meat eating will finally be over by the year 2032? If not, please explain why you feel that way.

Probably never. It will fade in and out as it has continued to since the 60's.
There has been a great deal of research done on hunter/gathering groups. Most of them did not start suffering from cancers and cardiac disease until the last 100 years. They ate meat for centuries before that.
One day, someone will realize that the worsening of noninfectious diseases has only happened in the last hundred years and will make some kind of connection to what the real cause is.
What inventions and changes have come about in the last 100 years? Electricity, radio waves, microwaves.. etc.
I refuse to believe that all of those diseases are caused by something we ate for hundreds of years before this with no ill effects.
Just about all research promoting a vegan lifestyle has been done by vegans. Granted, Americans in general overeat in every category and comparatively a vegetarian diet would be healthier. But, just about anything is healthier then overeating.

The UK government is talking about banning eating meat is it? Can you back up this statement with hard fact? I would have thought that with fighting a war on two fronts, crime spiralling out of control, prisons full to bursting etc that they had other more important issues to address than the whim of a few sandal wearing bearded wonders.
Is this government so confident that it thinks it will still be in power in 25 years time. If they are and if they try to implement such a law, I am confident that, as a democracy we will simply boot them out of office at the first opportunity.
In answer to your question. Meat eating will never end as it is part of our most primal human instinct to eat meat.
A few of you will stop eating meat as is your right to do so if you wish, a few of you will stamp your feet and try to stop the rest of us eating meat. But the common sense majority will not subscribe to your fad and will tell you to kindly mind your own business.
Incidently, merely being alive will eventually result in you being dead. Stop trying to blame meat for everything

Everything eventually leads to death so that argument is a non-starter.
Can you imagine what could possibly happen if meat eating were banned?
Where are you going to get all the extra (vegetarian) food from?
I could almost understand some of your arguments if humans could eat and process grass, and you can't grow high value crops on the majority of grassland.
What you are advocating is the genocide of thousands of food animals.
No wonder you blow it out your *** a lot.

Exhaust producing vehicles are detrimental to people's health, and the environment, do you predict that they will be outlawed too? It isn't the act of eating the meat that is unhealthy, it is the OVER eating of meat that is unhealthy. Sugar leads to a lot of health problems, should that be outlawed too? What about alcohol? Or cigarettes? Or the process of obtaining electricity? The process of making plastic, which is used to make the products to replace leather, and in the computer you are using right now(and the making of the other components of your computer)? A lot of things that people use can be/are unhealthy to them or the environment, do you propose that they be outlawed too? Where will it stop?

eating meat will never be outlawed,in some civilisations it is the main source of food,and if it was outlawed in this country how would or could it be policed. how many hundreds of thousands of people would be made jobless,black market butchers would be richer than any drugs baron,the problems this would create are too vast to list,and the cost would just be too much to impose

No I don't, but I do believe that vegetarianism will increase substantially by that time, and that the myths of vegetarianism and veganism will finally become a thing of the past. It amazes me the number of people who call themselves vegetarians, but still think it is okay to eat fish, or foods made with chicken or beef stock, gelatin, etc.

NO. It will never be aginst the law b/c there is nothing wrong with it. Do you think using the internet will be aginst the law in the next 25 years? Why not? Malicious acts are facilitated by the internet everyday. Don't be a moron.

This will not happen since any company whos product is based on meat will agree to it. There will be strong lobbyist forces making sure it does not happen. Also, the rich white male who still rules this globe is a happy meat eater and will never accept a change.

ALl this talk from oyu about eating meat has made me hungry.
As always, whenever I read one of your ignorant, ill-informed rants, I make myself a nice juicy meat sandwich.
