The bad thing is, this will effect all food prices. As one food price rises, people buy alternatives, which raises the price of everything else.

Still, they aren't going to rise as much as beef, so it's still a good idea to switch. It's just good to keep in mind that no one is isolated.

Meh. Beef is pretty expensive to create in terms of raw resources and work. Much cheaper to just turn the cattle feed into human food.

Yes. That doesn't mean it's cost rising doesn't increase the cost of everything else.
