My Hot take: the focus on the livestock industry and consumption of animal products is detrimental to conservationism and environmentalism. Most people aren't going to change their diets and stop eating meat. Anecdotal, but a fairly common opinion I see is the push against consuming animal products is seen as some kind of vegan agenda. If you want to reduce their impact on the environment then spend your energy on making the industry more sustainable instead of trying to force people to change their diets. It will be far more successful and there is a ton of room for reform in the livestock industry. Just like it is with transportation the solution isn't to attack the individual but to regulate and reform the industry. Calling people immoral for driving their car to work doesn't achieve anything but making an electric car that is competitive on merit does. In a nut shell there are to general truth's about how the world works at play here. 1: It is much easier to persuade people if you given them solutions rather than accusing them of causing a problem. 2: It is much easier to improve an existing system that is in place than it is to throw it all away and start from scratch.
