So are "driving without seat belts", "buying a house in a flood plane without insurance", "smoking tobacco". All 3 have been curbed quite dramatically with a combination of regulation, graduated penalties and education.

There's no reason the same can't happen with the current (wildly excessive) habit of read meat consumption.
