Ridiculous egghead economists. I'm not going to sacrifice my health for the nation's.

“There are things happening in the rest of the world that this model didn’t account for,” said Julian Morris, executive director of International Policy Network, a London-based think tank. “The increasing demand for meat in Asia is substantial, ongoing, and might counteract any reduced demand in developed countries.”
Precisely. Plus, whichever country exports meat, can just as well export dairy products (including perhaps "artisanal" ones).
