I think 50 years from now it will be socially unacceptable to eat meat. Maybe even in 30 years.
Pretty sure not. Don't quote me on this but I think that converting the whole world to vegetarianism is impossible. Livestock produce a much larger volume of food per unit of area required to raise them than vegetables do. I heard that there isn't enough available farmland to produce enough vegetables to feed an entire world of vegetarians. I could be wrong about this, I heard it on the radio so I have no hard facts to back this up.

you do realize that once you've stopped growing you really don't need milk, right? And you do know that the dairy industry is responsible for you thinking that milk, with it high fat content, does a body good, right?
It's all a scam to get you to buy milk!
Much like the scams they have to get you to buy Coke, energy drinks, processed junk food and prescription drugs!
All are high profit items that are making others rich and you poor, in both health and home. You really think a $1.99 Coke at the drive-through is good for you? Of course not! It's great for the stockholders of Coke though!
For thousands of years people only had mother's milk for the first few years of life. They ate meat though! And that's why I love my steak!

yes, you're wrong!
What sense does it make to raise crops to feed animals in order to get the milk from the animals? You can get the milk straight from the grains. Soy or rice milk is much more effecient! It just takes a few tries to get used to, but they have vanilla or chocolate ones that work great. I still think it's okay to eat meat, but drinking cow's milk, especially with the soaring prices lately, doesn't even make any financial sense anymore.

Go right ahead... if you think milk is not financially worth it, by all means stop drinnking it.
More for me, I love me some milk. High fat content? Yes, true. However, it also has a nice protien boost, and as long as you don't sit around for 12 hours a day, the fat content won't kill you.
A nice glass of chocolate milk with a peanut butter sandwich after a workout= win.
