> ...the world cannot extract enough resources to feed ourselves mostly beef - or meat for that matter. Nor could we do it at cost. I wouldn't be so sure: markets find ways to satisfy demand. People made similar statements about photovoltaic panels, but here we are, with solar competitive with coal. I'd prefer to let markets organically allocate scarce inputs to their highest and best use over asserting that this technology or that behavior is unsustainable. If you're right, markets and prices will take care of modulating the demand and there's no need to tell individuals that their habits and preferences are a "privilege".
