That's something we need to be aware of and do everything we can to prevent. Humane animal products are even more unsustainable than stomach-turningly efficient animal products. The world population continues to shift toward a meat-filled American diet, and it would be catastrophic to meet the whole world's demand with old-fashioned farms where animals have outdoor space to roam and aren't loaded up with steroids and antibiotics, let alone the ecological costs of keeping the useless males alive.


That is a problem that classical economics trivially solves - humane meat is already unaffordable for most people.
