I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or maybe even the next 50 years?

    Eating meat. I think two things will happen: (1) we’ll discover that there’s very little difference in feelings between humans and other animals and (2) science will allow us to produce meat in a lab.

      This is literally the opposite of what OP asked.

        Woops, I read the question as going both directions… Oh well!

          What? There is no taboo being vegan. You two are really trying to twist OP’s question into your narrative. He’s asking what is taboo TODAY, that will no longer be taboo in the future.

            No dammit. Think when you read.

            There’s a taboo, within the vegan community, on eating meat. That taboo will be lifted.

            If the message doesn’t make sense re-interpret it until it does.

          I feel like everyone is getting you wrong. I know what you mean. Your point is that nowadays meat consumption is already a taboo.

              Connect the dots Einstein. We’re talking about vegans here. There are like 100 words of text here it’s not hard to understand.

                So you mean that eating meat is taboo for an absolutely tiny proportion of the world? How could that possibly be relevant?
