If you go back 50 years or so, the big topic was the population explosion. Billions and Billions of people would overwhelm the earth and cause massive famines.
But that didn’t happen. For two reasons: 1) Food production keeps improving with high technology and 2) The planet’s population seems to have pretty much topped out and is in decline in many areas.
Everything is supply and demand. We have increased Supply and we have lowered Demand.
And they want us to eat bugs.
There can be no good reason for this.
I believe that there is sort of a reason, to them. The wealthy are largely cheapskates. They won’t tip and they don’t like paying for things. Time was when a landed noble in England could provide no-cost housing and non-existent pay to maids to live at their estate, for instance. All if a sudden, paid wages at the textile mill are a threat to their way of life. Who will be their maids, anymore?
It is the same with beef, ivory or anything else. The elites see availability to the common man as a threat to what they enjoy for “free”.
