Yeah, it’s not like factory farming does mono cropping like it’s a sport.
You can select what non-animal stuff you eat, but you can’t select what animals are fed. Unless there is some seal that limits what they can be fed or you really know the farmer. That’s a prime example for optimizing for the cheapest thing you can get that still delivers what you need.
Meat is a luxury good. It always was.
With 372,853,699Mg of soy production in 2021 and 8 billion world population, we could already give 127g of soy to every human every day. That’s like half a liter of soy milk and 100g tofu.

If meat is a luxury good, that means even the poorest of people live lives of luxury.
So, kinda nice in an oblivious sort of way
