I am convinced that vegans today will be like we look at abolitionists like Alexander Hamilton back during the 18th century. People will be horrified that we treated animals so abysmally for convenience, and some will say it was a normal and accepted practice, and people didn't realize how horrible it was, and others will point to the vegans of today.
Thoughts like those make me a little more understanding of people like George Washington. He recognized it was bad, tried to mitigate it, but still perpetuated the practice. Just like I switched to Impossible Beef and chicken, do my best to buy local family eggs, but buy cheese and milk and ice cream from big name companies like Tillamook and Ben & Jerry's.
Yes, I also think we will look back on meat eating in 50-100 years like we look back at slavery now
Alexander Hamilton very deliberately and strategically married into a family of wealthy New York slave owners, then proceeded to cut deals with Virginia slave owners in order to enrich his northern friends through a publicly chartered bank that profited off of increased slave traffic and slave territory expansion.
To call Alexander Hamilton an abolitionist is about as rational as calling Donald Trump a feminist.
