There is plenty of meat around if we were to stop gorging ourselves on it.
Take the French, for example. People remark about how thin they stay despite their high-fat diet. Well, they don't eat so much. They tend to serve a larger variety of small portions of things -- meat and veggies, then cheese (with bread), fruit, and something sweet.
Originally posted by spruce112358good point. one of the factors in the US is our cheap food policy. We have made food abundant and cheap, by giving welfare to corporate farms. They in turn give us hormone laden meat, high fructose corn sugar, and bleach processed flour, all of which make for an unhealthy, calorie rich diet.

Originally posted by spruce112358Absolute nonsense. French everyday cuisine is not the gourmet type you see in restaurants. They certainly have plenty of hearty meals. I was surprised at how often people eat things like tartiflette at home.

Would you move to eating in-vitro meat right now if it cost less than the real thing?

Less than half the worlds population eats meat at all.
Rice is the number one consumed food in the world.
In-Vitro meat's price will NOT END HUNGER as depicted by the thread title.
An end to using food as bio-fuel may do it though....but, that's another story.

Soylent Green is a 1973 dystopian science fiction movie depicting a bleak future in which overpopulation, global warming, and the resulting severe damage to the environment have led to widespread unemployment and poverty. Real fruit, vegetables, and meat are rare, expensive commodities, and much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green" wafers.
The film overlays the genres of science fiction and the police procedural as it depicts the efforts of New York City police detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) and elderly police researcher Sol Roth (Edward G. Robinson) to investigate the brutal murder of a wealthy businessman named William R. Simonson (Joseph Cotten). Thorn and Roth uncover clues which suggest that it is more than simply a bungled burglary.
The film, which is loosely based upon the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room!, by Harry Harrison, won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973.
