Not much for a while. Meat produces would continue to fill their previously agreed upon contracts. Grocery chains would continue to buy their contractually agreed upon amounts. Large food chains would continue to offer their contractually obligated menu items containing their contractually purchased meat.
People don't seem to get how little consumer opinion matters these days. Consumers are idiots with short attention spans and companies know it. That's why there are contracts. It doesn't really matter if consumers get upset and stop buying a product, they'll typically forget within 3 months.
Know what would happen if McDonalds one day said "we're going to stop serving meat starting immediately."? They'd be sued to high heaven by their meat suppliers for breaking contract.
