The planet needs China to curb its appetite for meat

I hit the pay wall, but the introduction of it has two unfounded premises:<p>- Eating meat is bad for the planet<p>- Eating meat has a direct causation of negative health outcomes<p>If China were too gluttonous on meat for current supply, then wouldn&#x27;t that just cause prices to go up, and supply to go up too? Perhaps government central planners and those who support them at the Economist need to learn basic micro-economics.

I don&#x27;t think this article is really fair or complete enough, because we in the western world started a lot of the practice that meat is what wealthy people get, and we sure eat a lot of meat here, and did a lot of the industrial planning to make mass production possible.<p>I love a burger myself, but for the health of the planet all societies should be eating less meat, reducing its use.

Hit the paywall, but a country with a massive population that is helping many of them are leveling up and leaving poverty how can you prevent them to stop eating meat? Is easy to say from a nice office in NY but hard to explain to a farmer
