Considering the price of meat in 2054, and the income of your
adverage street type, don't you think that most of the players
would be vegitarian? I mean, most of the meat products are made
with soy(soya), probably TVP (Textured Vegtible protiens) and
other cheap substitutes. A McSwinies would be even less meat
than they are now (If that is possible!)

So the fact that Elves may have a vegitarian metabolism, won't
realy be that much of a disadvantage except at higher levels of
society, where they can actualy aford real meat. Real meat in
my games goes from between 3 =Y= a pound, for chicken, up to
about 8 - 10 =Y= per pound for beef. So most of my players eat
soy anyway.

I did have one player who insisted that he wanted a real meat
hamburger, and was stupid enough to pay for it, I decided that
as his matabolism wasn't use to this odd substance, he would
suffer from stomach cramps and the runs as his body would have
difficulty digesting something it was not use to. A good
example of this is babies, watch what happens if they eat pure
meat too young when there stomachs can't handle it.
