"everyone should stop eating meat" is red herring. People often point out outside of "western bubble" so they can get rid of responsibility inside that "bubble". Really poor people do not eat meat in scale that is now so common in rich countries.


True, but in the last few decades so many people world wide have stopped being so poor that they do not eat meat in large scale. In China, meat consumption per person has increased more than sixfold since 1980, getting close to EU levels, and that is a natural outcome of Chinese people becoming less poor; the same is likely to happen elsewhere around the world unless some factor keeps the developing world so poor that they can't afford to do so.
