From an environmental perspective, a sharp increase in the cost of meat would be a very, very good thing.
The current system is essentially externalizing majority of the costs to the ecosystem, allowing consumers to pay far less than the true cost. It's similar to a power plant that saves money by pumping all of its waste untreated into a nearby river. The power bill is cheap, but only if one fails to consider the costs to the community and anyone/anything else using the river.
