20 years is a bit short but… Eating animals will be regarded as highly immoral, “but everyone knew those animals suffered, right?”, on the same level as we now judge slavery
This is farfetched. People love meat, and we have for our entire history. Even India only has around 30% vegetarian population. The demand for not just protein but specifically meat will never go away.
The only way I see us avoiding animal slaughter is by mastering bioengineering to the point where we can grow a perfectly marbled brisket in a lab without actually cloning the whole cow.
This is so weird. Do people realize animals need to eat? Why don’t we eat that food directly? Eating animals makes for less food, not more. Like how 75% of soy is cattle feed, and then vegans get blamed for deforestation for soy beans. It’s ridiculous. Willful ignorance
hmmm… over here cows and sheep are fed on banana leaves and some tree I cannot name. I don’t know about you but either of these don’t float my boat too well
Eh, only sorta. Plenty of animals can be fed on things we can’t eat. They tried raising rabbits in NK for example because they can survive off rocky ground that wouldn’t grow crops.
Third world problem though. First world countries could be vegetarian easily.
As is, one can only hope. Until a source of animal-like protein can be perfected and become cheap enough for sustained consumption by a lower class individual, some people (more than you realize) will not be able to get off animal proteins due to various medical conditions. I suppose accessible cures for these conditions would be a proper solution as well.
I’m not even going to touch on the luxury of choosing your next meal here, since that’s been addressed already.

I’m vegetarian, but I don’t see this happening
It’s sadly impossible until we guarantee food for everyone. It’s a luxury to choose where and what your next meal is.
