Maybe. But it is also possible that people will simply not eat it out of fear or simply eat a lot less meat. I do enjoy a good steak as much as the other guy, but we certainly eat a LOT less beef nowadays, because a) it is expensive, b) it is a very heavy meal and c) there is plenty of other natural protein sources. My response could be different in case of severe food shortage/hunger or if synthetic beef is the only protein source available out there, but how likely is that scenario to even worry about now?
