Meat-eating should just be toned down and sobered up. No need to get rid of it entirely. Even tho I'm (mostly) vegetarian, I'm a little creeped out by the idea of humanity losing touch with its meat-eating roots. I mean, it's a *part* of us. The idea of a wholly vegetarian humanity just feels weirdly.. domesticated/castrated.
Personally, I do well on a vegetarian diet, so it's no biggie for me, but not everyone can live meatless and thrive. The problem is the overblown factory food industry, and that applies to veggies as well as meat. I think.. er, *hope*, rather.. that most humans would rather eat a quality grassfed steak once a week than eat shitty cardboard-hormone-meat-blend burger things from the drive-thru three times a day. Yeah, it would mean eating beans and rice too, but beans and rice can be really damn *good* if you give 'em a chance and actually, y'know, learn to cook.
Let's all meet in the middle. Don't persecute any particular food source, just try to do a classy job with it. Yeah, right, who am I kidding? We're fucked.
