I hope that'd we will be switching to more of a whole food plant based diet. Just because meat is going to go up in price doesn't mean we need to start eating insects. We don't even need to eat meat to survive, in fact animal based food is detrimental to our health, encouraging cancer growth and contributing to a variety of diseases, food-born and otherwise.
There are dozens of protein and iron rich plant foods (complete amino acid foods as well), meat is not an essential part of the human diet. There are two difficult nutrients to obtain from plants, Vitamin B12 which is usually obtained from dairy products can be found in nutritional yeast and seaweeds, and Omega 3 fatty acids ETA and DHA which DHA can be obtained from microalgae and ETA can be more readily converted from ALA by the body and ALA is found in a large variety of seeds and nuts.
I am far more vegan than I was a few years ago and it has been great on my health and for those in my family that are doing the same. We can devote livestock land to agriculture and have plenty of food available. Our diets should contain far less animal products than they currently do and its return to a luxury food will do nothing but benefit the population.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
