I’m a bit ignorant on this, but what are the projections for consequences to ecosystems if we just keep eating to extinction?

I ask because your solution seems to just get us to the same place diet wise: having to eat plants now instead of later. You could see why that alone wouldn’t be a motivation.

We will have to eat plants sooner or later.

But if we'll start sooner, we'll also may have the functioning land and sea ecosystems and a lot of biodiversity.

I know you wouldn't notice it on your plate, and maybe you don't see any value in that, but I'm hoping that many (or at least some) do.

Why not chow down on some bugs, on the way down? Plentiful protein. Less moral ick than eating milky mammals, flappy floofs, and scale wiggles.

We already get 63% of protein from plant sources [0]. There is nothing magical in animal protein ... all animal protein comes in fact from plant sources [1].
