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?

    With lab grown meat there’s no reason to be vegan, so the taboo is lifted.

      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?
