Im a meat dept manager and this is anecdotal, but winter snowstorm means missed deliveries. And missed deliveries equate empty shelves. Unfortunately depending on severity of missed deliveries, there is very much a possibility of empty shelves(due to maximum code dates allowed)
The plant based stuff on the other hand, come frozen and are slack to sell. We can defrost and put out as needed.

While Beyond and Impossible are delicious, they’re damn expensive in comparison usually

I think this really shows people aren’t actually starving, instead are panic buying and stockpiling.
Same thing happened with flour at start of the pandemic. The gluten free flour was still available next to empty shelves.
