We don't need coffee, tea, spices and a thousand other things you can buy at the store. But people want them, and that's unlikely to change.

This will change when we'll have to make compromise because our current agriculture model is not sustainable (both for climate and food production).

As an aside: I stopped drinking coffee because of the environmental impact. I now drink chicory and barley coffee that's locally grown and roasted. The taste is close enough. It also makes it easier to absorb iron and vitamins (which caffeine inhibits, which does not help if you're reducing meat consumption).
