Possible.
We've seen all the problems with drugs.
When LGM goes mainstream. I'm sure snip will happen.

Fear mongering will replace farming we use to know.
The greater the push society will transition to indoor warehouse vertical gardening, and LGM.
Don't think anything is going to stop it.

Urban sprawl has taken quite a bit of it.
Those options aren't a great as one thinks.
It takes considerable infrastructure, and capital to keep up with population growth.

An incurable, mad-cow-like brain infection nicknamed “zombie deer disease” ... has spread through half the US – and some fear it may soon turn up in humans.
Like mad cow disease, CWD attacks the brain and spinal cord and is believed to be caused by prions, infectious proteins that travel in bodily fluids and remain contagious for years after leaving the body of their host.
“It is probable that human cases of CWD associated with the consumption of contaminated meat will be documented in the years ahead,”
Even in the wild, in some areas more than one in four deer are infected

This sounds like really disturbing news. A prion disease similar to mad cow disease is spreading through deer populations across 24 US states, as well as Canada. In some areas, incidents of infection are as high as one in four deer, and significantly higher in some captive deer populations. The problem, however, is that symptoms can go undetected for up to a year - meaning that when hunters shoot the deer and take the meat, those consuming the meat may have no idea they're consuming infected meat. Even more worrying is the fact that the prions causing this disease can remain contagious for years outside of a host body... Oh, and it's also incurable. Michael Osterholm, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease and Research Prevention, spoke to lawmakers Thursday to warn them that human infection will likely begin occurring in the near future.
This seems like a nightmare just waiting to happen.

Not as out of the box as one thinks.
They're called Walipini's.
The only difference is scale.

Minnesota is currently in the throes of its worst-ever CWD outbreak. The disease is incurable, and its long latency period means symptoms can take as long as a year to show up – meaning a hunter could shoot a healthy-looking deer and take it home for dinner without knowing he was consuming infected meat. While a Canadian study demonstrated last year that macaques fed with CWD-infected meat developed the disease, leading Canadian authorities to issue a health advisory, the CDC merely “recommends” against eating infected deer, and US wildlife agencies say eating the virulent venison is a “personal choice,” according to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press

Why go vegan?
Lab grown meat is your future.
There should be a couple of old threads by Soficrow that talked about prions in the soil. Which means the wasting disease (mad cow) could maybe be problematic for veggies too?😕
Lab grown meat would be hard to switch to, unless we can’t tell the difference
