Huge reductions in meat-eating are essential to avoid dangerous climate change, according to the most comprehensive analysis yet of the food system’s impact on the environment. In western countries, beef consumption needs to fall by 90% and be replaced by five times more beans and pulses.

Honestly you can flip this on its head and it still works - “climate change will lead to a 90% reduction in meat eating”. Beef in particular will become so expensive to produce that it will be a luxury item. The media has already been seeding the “in the future we might eat bugs for protein” idea for many years, you see those articles pop up in the news now and again (like beans don’t exist lol).

It’ll be so funny watching the triggered meat fetishists melt down when they can’t afford their lifestyle anymore lol

See that’s the interesting thing actually, beef already cost a metric fuck ton to produce, it should logistically be at least a moderately expensive good. But instead it’s subsidized to shit so that way it stays competitive with non meat options.
