When meat stops being tasty...which is never. Meat tasty. Tasty is good. Meat is good. Tasty meat.
Will humanity ever give up eating meat? When?

That may be, but that's not the argument 99% of people would use for why they think cannibalism is wrong if a survey was done. We don't eat people because it's wrong to eat people.
I have a feeling we will develop livestock without brains before this happens
I wouldn't eat that if you paid me.
That's the only way I would consider eating a steak.
The only thing I would consider doing with that steak is throwing it out. Disgusting. Just gnaw on a charcoal briquette and save the meat for people who know how to cook it properly.
I've tried to stop eating meat but my body just doesn't allow it. I become fatigued, lethargic and overall feel very weak. Some people can give it up and have proper supplements with fruits, salads and nuts but not everyone can like myself.
There are risks and money factors in going vegetarian.

It's practically all I eat. I'll never give it up.
Skirt steak is perfectly tender, even when rare, if you know how to slice it properly. It's by far the tastiest cut (behind tongue, of course).

That could be just a hard sear? Don't be so harsh tenderloin.
Yes, encephalopathy
It's icky isn't a very good reason. There are arguments you can make about the temptation to kill people for their meat and the aforementioned brain rot. But abstractly there shouldn't be anything wrong with eating human.
It really annoys me that we'd still have a use for all our other meat species, but pigs are just screwed.

Pet pigs for everyone!
Is that a hockey puck? What did you do to that poor meat!I wouldn't eat that if you paid me.

Doesn't that only happen when you eat another human's brain? Is there really any negative outcome (health-wise) to eating human muscles, just like we do with animals?

Nah, that's a tomato.
I don't like tomatos, but it was just one of the first pictures of a decent steak that showed up.
That's a damn good looking piece of meat.

Let me tell you, I made some pretty mind-blowing ham last night. Smoked first, then blackened in a cast-iron skillet using a high smokepoint coconut oil.
Maybe not suitable as a favorite, though, due to all the carcinogens.

When will humanity give up eating meat? Probably never. You, however, will give it up some time in the next 20 years when it becomes a $90/kg luxury for the rich... you'll eat your soylent green and you'll like it!
I don't have any problem with eating meat. I have a big problem with the quantity of meat that gets consumed. I have a problem when people treat it like a commodity just like buying a box of crackers or a candy bar. Eating too much and being too wasteful, with no regard or respect for the source.I'm confident a majority of those people who make a big deal about how "meat is so delicious", "real men eat meat", "bacon wrapped bacon", etc., would never have this attitude if they had to raise/hunt/slaughter the animal themselves.

the act of eating it isn't wrong but how we access it and process it is wrong and destroying the enviroment

Like many things, once we spend significant amounts of time off planet.
Non-terrestrial living is going to realign so very many things that we both consciously and subconsciously take for granted it'll be staggering period of change.

that's not true the meat is still produced it will just go directly into the trash.
peoples "stand" against the meat industry is just causing more waste.
if i remember 40% of all food made in the US meat and non meet. isn't eaten. thrown in the trash.

That largely depends on sustained population growth with no major disasters or wars happening.
Really will boil down to space vs efficiency in feeding the masses ultimately. I have a hard time imagining that anyone's looking forwards to the day we just eat a bunch of varieties of cultured yeast or plankton or something. Yick.
I wouldn't eat that if you paid me.

It died in vain.
This had always been my assumption. I live with two other people, and I'm not sure removing me from the equation would decrease the amount of meat we purchased by much, based on how quantities of meat are typically packaged here. There might be a few instances where we'd be able to buy a little less of something, but I'd be amazed if that tiny change, even over weeks or months, would have any appreciable impact way back at the animal supply stage of the process.
As you say though, I might have to do some further reading.

We are animals. Animals, namely carnivores and omnivores, eat other animals. It is the natural order of life.

We know that we don't need meat. We could survive perfectly well without it and still have a healthy diet. We know that killing all these delicious animals is purely to satisfy our taste.
I fucking love eating meat. It's rare that I ever go a day without eating meat. It's pretty much impossible that I'm going to give up eating it in my lifetime. Yet I know it's wrong. I accept my hypocrisy. I assume there are many, if not most like me. Then there are the people who try to rationalize the industry of animal death catered to our particular, unnecessary appetites.
When (if ever) do you see humans having converted to an animal-free diet? How long till we're looked back as on as cruel barbarians by our future ancestors who will never know the sweet taste of a perfectly cooked steak?
Speak for yourself bra. Give me my Ham!!

We wouldn't be where we are without having eaten meat.
Who knows what kind of effect giving it up for generations would cause.
The worst, man... you are the worst.

Chill out, Private. It's a Simpsons reference that's also a jab at how we treat the animal kingdom by not limiting ourselves in scope. And that's why it's not moral at all (did you really need that spelled out for you? It was pretty obvious).
The only way it is moral is at the base level, in that we eat meat just like other creatures eat their prey (and even some other mammals). What we don't do is limit ourselves in ability. Slaughterhouses, overproduction, mistreatment. It's all ghastly and horrible. But it's also a biproduct of our society.
What is a good sliver of hope is what has already been mentioned. Artifical meat is already being researched, developed and is on it's way.
If you personally need something to be outraged over something, it's a terrific vessel. Unfortunately I've had to put it on the backburner since the Australian government and my job are already doing a good enough job of taking up my allocated daily outrage. Any more and I'll have an aneurysm.

I don't eat a lot of meat, but when I do it's organic.
Mostly chicken or fish. Red meat I don't eat as much.
If it was all grown in laboratories I would stop eating it unless I raised the chickens myself. Not crazy about that sort of thing.

I'e been reading some of the latest scientific research on sexuality in the animal kingdom and it makes for some interesting reading.

I do that dance for eggs but I've not grown to breeding them for meat. I'll have to move to a roomier place for that

Cooking a steak like that should be a crime =/ such a waste.

And it has been an evolutionary pressure which has shaped us, as well, in the past. We don't have to be proud of our evolutionary past, but it is what it is. Cultural and social pressures are other natural forces for humans which shape normative behavior and act as counter opposing forces against physical dominance. But they are still intraspecies pressures. There is no counter acting inter species mitigating factor between predator and prey. And there will not be any agreement between humans on the philosophical matter.
