Solid answer..

None of this needs to be binary this or that though. We can limit or eliminate our intake of meat products through personal choice AND engineer solutions to minimize environmental harm. We can do both and it does not have to be unanimous.

Also, there absolutely is a very real cultural shift happening right now that is embracing flexitarian/vegetarian/vegan diets.

While the term "vegan" has seen a rise in popularity, "meat" and even "steak" have seen a more significant rise in the last 10 years: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=v...

I also don't have data on this, but I think there has been a much bigger rise in performative veganism than actual veganism. For example many popular twitch streamers say they are vegan, and then the next week viewers point out they are eating a cheeseburger on stream and they'll say "well I'm not today obviously".
