Yep, (western) people are acting like meat is a human right and a staple day to day food.

My grandparents were the first generation in my country who started to have regular access to meat after WW2. Before that it was either a rare thing and much of the "meat" they ate was offal.

Pea soup was 99% peas and a small chunk of smoked meat added for flavour.

Meanwhile billions of people live perfectly normal lives eating legumes (beans, chickpeas, peanuts) for protein.
