The problem is upgrading the diet of the Chinese middle and working classes to provide much higher levels of high quality animal proteins. The Chinese like to eat meat as much as we do, and with China’s dramatic economic progress in recent decades, a billion-plus Chinese have gotten the idea that their diet should continue to improve

so....stepping up from Choice bat to Prime bat?

I once met a young woman from China who grew up in the Mao era. She remembers getting meat twice a year. A whole egg all for oneself was a big birthday present. The diet was mostly rice and vegetables with a little fish thrown in from time to time. And repeat. Moving to meat once a week is a revolutionary change. Then twice a week. Then three times a week. China can grow enough grain to feed its people. It can’t grow enough grain to put meat, milk and eggs on people’s plates whenever they want them.
