I believe it is reasonable to imagine a future where the majority of human diets are mostly vegetarian. The only real argument for eating meat is the preference for it. Some people like myself like to drink beer, and even though it's not the best thing in the world for me, I will probably keep drinking it. We will probably have liquor forever, and I think we will have meat forever, too. I think meat consumption will become more like liquor consumption in that it will become a delicacy of sorts, and not considered a necessity, and many people with abstain from it most of the time if not always There are a multitude of reasons for eliminating meat from our diets which in the long run outweigh the fact that bacon etc taste good. There are a lot of good alternatives to meat, and there will only be more so in the future. It is much more efficient for humanity to consume plants than to consume animals.
