(2,066 posts)of animals in the meat-eating culture is horrendous. But far too many people enjoy eating meat, and I don't see that ever changing. One thing that might make a big difference in the future is meat grown in laboratories (cultured meat). If you've never heard of it before, I know it might sounds crazy and meat-eaters claim they'll never eat it, but I think eventually people will eat meat that never involved the killing of an animal. Cultured meat would also have no negative impact on our environment and would dramatically change our culture entirely.
Here are a couple of interesting articles about it in case you haven't heard about it yet:
