Suppose that the jackfruit industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of jackfruit and quantity of 250 million pounds per year. Suppose a top medical journal publishes research that animal-alternative protein sources such as jackfruit could decrease your expected lifespan by 3 years. The publication is expected to cause consumers to demand jackfruit at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by
