Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Meat was formerly an expensive luxury that most Europeans could not afford. In response, high pricing kept demand and supply low until the emergence of modern technology, notably refrigerated ships, which facilitated the delivery of perishable commodities across long distances. Animals are now butchered for food in America, Australia, or New Zealand and shipped frozen to Europe. As a result, shipping costs and meat prices in Europe have decreased. The poor in Europe can now eat a more varied diet. Many people, but not all, could now supplement their diet with meat, butter, and eggs, breaking up the monotony of bread and potatoes. Better living conditions aided domestic social peace as well as foreign support for imperialism.
