Im going to throw out an idea.

Lobster used to be dirt cheap back in the early-mid 1900s to the point it was fed to prisoners and the lower class and labeled as Poor-Person meal. - Spoon University. Lobster is now getting more and more expensive that for some families it is a delicacy. I am wary that the new "Plant-Based Meat" will do the same thing to real meat. Many fast food places have veggie options to their patties/nuggets opening its doors to a vast market. Not saying fast food is eaten strictly by the poor but it is cheap. I am wary that by say 2030 we will see that plant based "meat" will be the norm and that real meat will now be the delicacy for the rich. I could also just be worrying for no reason but are there studies about the long term effects of eating these types of food? I mean there has to be chemicals used to make it look like real meat.
