You don't need to worry about it scaling to supply a burger hungry world. The market for burgers will clear, no central planner needed. Maybe they wont be available for $6 they will cost $12. Then again, not everyone needs to get the bulk of their calories from burgers.

The U.S. needs to stop trying to feed the world, especially with extremely cheap (and low quality) corn and soy that are exported primarily for use as feedstock or for biofuels.

We have created enormous imbalances in global food supply by driving out of business local producers, making many countries dependent on a small number of producers for global staple crops, which is a dangerous proposition that puts the world at risk of famine should trade be disrupted.

We pay the price for lack of nutritious food in higher health care costs and lower quality of life in our later years.
