Yes, that's a decent summery. Populations would be less healthy if meat just suddenly disappeared with no other changes. Although, in the United States at least, we massively over-consume meat to the detriment of our health. But we rely on it as a source of many micronutrients that we otherwise wouldn't get by default.

Additionally, these changes will never happen without regulatory changes on the supply side to artificially drive up the cost of meat production.
