Also, you're going to have to tell me where we're going to grow the new farms we're going to replace livestock pastures with, because as far as I'm concerned, any dramatic uptick in cultivating farmland is going to result in a lot of rainforests being destroyed globally.
Because, you know, that's still something going on as we speak.

Do you also support deforestation? What about mass pollution through coal burning? It'll be pretty hard to replace those with renewable systems of production.
The answer is that it would be easy if anyone gave a stuff. There isn't a magic solution to change the US's meat intake because it would require people to actually take action. "Duhh, how are we gonna get everyone to drive an electric car when we don't have enough electric cars for everyone?!"
The difference between you and I is that you saw a difficult problem and said "well lol it'll be hard to fix better not" and I made a major lifestyle change.

Are you loving listening to yourself? You're gonna tell me stuff about privilege when 90% of the population can pick from more than 2 items on the menu.

Well yeah, you can afford to radically alter your diet to avoid products that you think aren't ethical to consume. Even people within the country can't afford this lifestyle. When you suddenly can't afford to avoid food that has animal products in them, what then?
