I sympathize with the treatment of animals and while this has somewhat been improved in the west it's never going to be acceptable to many....in some cases me included.

However, humans are evolved to eat meat and while veganism can suit some it isn't going to be the answer to this problem.

The answer to this will be technological......automation will make cloned meat so cheap for the consumer that the farming and meat industry will disappear.

However, that would also put a huge number of people out of work without any obvious switch for many.

You will also get a lot of angry religious people from a couple of religions I can think of.

I think you're right there. Cloned meat will change a lot when it becomes more readily available. Also I think the growth in vegan products available in shops will encourage a change especially as prices reduce.

As for religious groups I'm not particularly religious but know that there are many passages in the Bible that can be used to support either side - eating meat or not.

All religious books have passages in them that highlight the importance of treating animals with respect. Eastern religions probably place more emphasis on these parts but with the changing consciousness of people I think a lot are slowly beginning to chnage their minds on thes issues.

It's a difficult job, though, convincing religious people to stop killing animals as it seems ingrained in religious culture to do so. The passages supporting veganism are often glosssed over and ignored but hopefuly that will change as people's attitudes change.

Quorn Chicken Nuggets are nice and hard to differentiate from actual chicken nuggets. It's a little thing of course but at least one way of keeping a similar diet but causing less harm in the process.
