Shades of Soylent Green

 I've always enjoyed dystopian novels though what is stranger than their many strange themes is that they all seem to be coming at least partially true,that my friends is the really scary stuff. Today's case in point is that "steaks" are now being made by 3 D printers,that way it allows them to almost perfectly duplicate the texture of animal meat. Here's the part that is bothersome about that,aren't the vegan meats supposed to be mainly for people who don't eat meat? So how would they know or care what the texture of a real steak was like? I know scientists are working on ways to feed the future masses with more plant based foods to help slow climate change among other reasons but there are still going to be the animals we're currently consume,still being part of the problem, so what part of the puzzle am I missing? For those who have no idea who or what Soylent Green is,it was a movie in 1973 loosely based on a 1966 novel about food shortages of the future and how they were coped with.
