The problem with this is lifestyle inflation.

Pre-industrial technologies will only get us pre-industrial amounts of meat, which has to be split between the current population.

There's a lot of people who probably won't be very happy with only being able to afford meat once or twice a week. That seems like a surefire way to trigger a backlash.
