PRO-TIP: Go vegetarian.
Seriously, the meat here was all sold out while the vegetarian food was as full as always.
It's really good and it's available, so try it sometime 
They come in different flavors so try at least two or three.
Don't expect it to taste like meat, it probably doesn't.
Maybe you'll like it and switch to vegetarian one or two days a week

All this tells me is that the hoarders would rather starve. :-p

I've tried some of that stuff, and I concur.

Vegetarian food is critically dependent on someone who know to prepare it.
My mother did not, so I grew up thinking that vegetarian is food for cows.
Then I happened to marry a girl who really knew it. Certainly not every day - she was very good with fish as well, and I did some meat stuff. But there was no reason to point out that "today we eat vegetarian" - it was just as tasty, and as varied, as the other stuff we ate.
After we broke up, one of the few things that I have tried to hold on to is her vegetarian cooking. Tonight I had a "Chili sans carne" - when beans and other vegetables are prepared and spiced the proper way, you certainly do not need any carne in it.
If you want to go partially, or maybe fully, vegetarian: Make sure to learn how it is properly done. If you just pick up random vegetables at the shopping center and try to make something out of it, with no proper guidance, you will drop those veggie ideas within a week.

And that, right there, is a large part of why it's so hard to convince so many people: Who has time to cook anymore or learn how to prepare some meal? If you have to give it some extra thought on top of that, it's a losing proposal.

Well, partly.
We Dutch eat vegetables, potatoes and meat (with gravy).
Kind of like this[^].
On that plate, it's really easy to just replace the meat with, well, a replacement, like a vegetarian steak[^].
Luckily, that kind of eating is becoming old fashioned.
If you have something else, like pasta, it's easy to replace the minced meat with a vegetarian replacement.
Even my grandpa doesn't taste the difference and since he's a very old fashioned and strict eater that's saying something!
Of course, if you want to do anything with tofu or the like, that requires some training or you'll be eating a tasteless block of gum 
Unfortunately, I still hear "it's not a meal if there's no meat" way too often 
I think those people (mostly men) feel that eating meat is manly and they have to compensate for something else

My old dad defined "dinner" (i.e. "supper" in US English) as "a hot meal with boiled potatoes". Even if we had had a late afternoon meal with a soup, a main dish with pasta or pasta with meat/fish, vegetables and bread to go with it, and then a desert, at seven or eight in the evening he would be asking around: Aren't we going to have any dinner today?
For vegetarian dishes: You may of course use an old recepie with meat and replace the meat with something that pretends to be meat, but I don't think pretending is a long lasting solution. My own cooking is usually without a recepie - I look into the fridge to se what is there, and make something out of it. If there was no meat there, then the result may be vegetarian.
Like, I once praised the bread made my cousin and asked how she made it. "Oh, I start with two liters of water... and... well, use whatever flour I've got..."

Just don't pretend it's meat, but something else, because it is.
No need to pretend, just say "today I'm eating [your replacement of that day] because it tastes really good."
Be sure it tastes really good though, or you'll be back to eating meat real soon
I mean, you're not eating meat because it's meat, but because you like the taste, so replace it with something else that tastes good and you'll have no problem.
A lot of people started eating vegetarian a few years ago because it was all the hype back then.
Few stuck to it, but most still eat vegetarian two or three days a week which already makes a huge difference on our meat consumption.
I've been vegetarian for 22 years now and I don't miss meat one bit.
In fact, I already look forward to whatever replacement I'll be having tonight
That said, I've literally replaced it.
Instead of a piece of meat I now eat a vegetarian cheese burger, steak or fish burger.
And lately I've been eating real good with quinoa, bulgur, tofu, etc. because I've been doing Hello Fresh, which delivers the recipes and ingredients

We can't all live like that!
I plan ahead or I'll be left with food I didn't eat or it just won't be any good
