Given that around 93 percent of people still eat meat, it’s difficult to imagine that everyone will cease doing so anytime soon. A world that eats far less meat, however, is already on the way. Meat consumption has been steadily declining in the U.S.—by 10% per capita since 2007, in fact.
In that year, for example, the U.S. raised and killed 9.5 billion land animals for food. As of 2014, that number plummeted by a whopping 400 million (to 9.1 billion), says Paul Shapiro, Vice President, Farm Animal Protection for The Humane Society of the United States.
Of course, people can not just abandon meat consumption. At least a positive trend. There are very positive developments. I think in 10 years this figure will be higher compared to the current time.
