I agree on the animal products side of things, but cutting out meat has only improved my health and doesn't seem like a sacrifice. Maybe that's unusual but I think people just really enjoy the taste and are afraid of change. In my experience Americans tend to be pickier eaters than in other cultures where other proteins like insects are consumed when available.
In my opinion the largest issue is the misaligned subsidies—we are ensuring unhealthy food is the most affordable while also not investing in infrastructure has caused huge swathes of the US to be dubbed "food deserts". On average Americans get half the fiber they need but twice the protein, and so making that simple change would not only help people's health but also the planet without going so far as to 100% eliminate meat
