What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or maybe even the next 50 years?

Because it's extremely unhealthy?

Hasn't stopped fashion before

Yes, but also it was once a status symbol to drink lead (because it was sweet). We know better now, and haven't returned to that.

If you can already be any size you want I'm sure you can make sure to keep the fat out of your organs.
