Or maybe we just stop eating meat and eat plant based alternatives instead.

  No thanks. I really enjoy eating meat and can source it from environmentally responsible sources in addition to raising my own pigs for meat. The "Lets stop eating meat" is a hollow path forward. How about instead we eat more meat that is raised in ways that increase the fertility of the land and capture more carbon? it's totally viable if you are willing to spend more...

    What do you mean by "hollow path forward"? Sourcing it from environmentally responsible sources might work in your case but isn't feasible on a large scale required for mass consumption. And all that obviously doesn't take the animal cruelty aspect of it into account.

  As a meat lover who cares little for the welfare of animals, you're completely right. It's the only rational solution, especially in the medium term. But nobody wants to hear that sustainable solutions will actually make for worse quality of life (this applies to a lesser extent to renewables as well, where people assume that we can maintain the same uptime standards we enjoy with fossil fuels at a similar cost level. But at least in that case we're talking maybe 1.5-2x the cost, rather than dozens or hundreds as with lab-grown meat!).
