Unlikely - a vast majority of landscapes in Europe, Asia and the Americas are defined by grazing and so far we are not even remotely close to producing a milk alternative for cheesemaking, which is a cultural staple in a lot of countries.
So there will likely be some meat. BUT: That wouldn’t mean that we as a planet need to reduce our consumption massively, increase prices in a way that it is unfeasible for most people to consume actual beef a few times a year and supplement it with lab grown meat and insect protein as well as vegan alternatives.
That would still lead to super rich being able to eat beef every day,yes.
But that is absolutely not our problem - the problem is that people are super rich…the beef consumption of them is a mere drop in the bucket of their bad footprint on our planet and society. ELMO alone has a larger CO2 flight footprint per year than his meat consumption will ever cause,even if he eats half a cow every day for his whole life.
