As a large consumption of soy has been associated with decreased testosterone. If more and more business start toeing the regulation lines and only putting in as much real meat as legally needed, filling the rest in with soy, it might start an epidemic.

Clinical studies show no effects of soy protein or isoflavones on reproductive hormones in men: results of a meta-analysis So I would say talking about epidemic is premature.
