It's one of the more resource-intensive foodstuffs there is; if the planet keeps getting more crowded at the current pace then I wouldn't be surprised if it's not long before people forced to shift toward less expensive food sources by basic economic forces.

There's plenty of physical space; crowding is only an issue in part of the world. Besides, if this is really the case, then demand will vastly out-strip supply and the price will sky-rocket. No need to try to stop people eating meat; the market would do that.
