Perfect time to explore alternatives to eating meat.
If your pitch to the general American electorate to solve the affordability crisis is to become vegetarian good luck getting elected.
I actually cook extensively with non-animal proteins but I enjoy the choice to do otherwise and, if it's going to be curtailed, I'd prefer it happen for a reason more meaningful that some idiotic international blunder.
America is also having a whey protein shortage, but that's mostly because it's very popular right now and we're eating the available supply of whey powder.
