In the future only the really rich will be able to
afford real meat and the real poor will be punished
for killing animals for food.
Welcome to the liberal future.
Soylent green is people!!!
That sounds exactly like the medieval system:
A Lord (Earl, Baron, Duke etc) owns all the land and the animals on it.
Most of the crops grown are for the financial benefit of the Lord and the peasants are left to subsist, without the benefit of hunting for food.
All that was old is new again. And they say history does not repeat itself; my @ss!
