In some areas that might be possible, but not where I live in the midwest. The first question most people will have about each offering is "What kind of meat is in it?"
Right or wrong that's america today, and for that to change something major has to shift.
If Eatsa wants to be the driver of that change their meal offerings have to be delicious and significantly cheaper than fast food that has meat in it (which should be possible right since meat is so wasteful?)

This would be the case if externalities were priced into meat production. But meat producers don't pay for draining the water table, creating antibiotic-resistant strains or the massive waste problems that usually accompany large-scale meat production. I'm not among the militantly-anti-meat and even consume some on occasion, so I'm not going to tell people how to live their lives or what to eat, but we shouldn't be under the delusion that meat isn't more expensive just because most of the costs will be paid by future generations. If meat producers had to run sustainably, the cost of meat would be too high for most people to afford on a regular basis.
