Interesting. Cheaper meat, I think, is a pretty great thing. I mean, you can be quite healthy as a vegitarian, but it's a lot of work; I was a vegitarian growing up, and switched to meat shortly after I moved out of my parents house, mostly because I wasn't willing to put the culinary effort into eating a balanced vegitarian diet. You feel better eating nothing but fast food hamburgers than eating a vegitarian diet that doesn't have enough complete protien.
I mean, the ethics of eating animals aside (obviously, I don't feel very strongly about that, I mean, if i was willing to eat meat to save another hour a night of effort) plant-based protien has the potential to be vastly more efficent... read: cheaper, read: could feed vastly more humans, or the same number of humans with fewer resources input.
Seems to me like a great thing with a whole lot of potential to change the world in a very real and positive way just from a food efficency standpoint. A real meat substitute could have the effect of another 'green revolution'
