>Vanillin is used widely in the food and cosmetics industries and is an important bulk chemical used to make pharmaceuticals, cleaning products and herbicides. Global demand is growing and in 2018 was 37,000 tonnes, far exceeding the supply from natural vanilla beans. About 85% of vanillin is currently synthesised from chemicals derived from fossil fuels.
Title is a bit clickbait.

you won't have to eat anything; you live in a privileged western country that's already wealthy and fully modernized, and you'll always be able to afford a premium for the authentic stuff.

it'll mostly be people in developing countries relegated to the weird and simulated stuff, since they want the same standard of living as the western world, but have to come to terms with hard limitations on what the environment can support.
