True, but I would like to add:
1. If you can afford it, you should still reduce.
2. The meat and dairy industries are heavily subsidized especially in developed countries. These prices are artificially low.[1]
The subsidies could of course be shifted to human edible plants (instead of feeding corn/maize) making plant-based diets more affordable.
At the moment however few politician want to be connected to rising meat prices. If they were to get clear signals from their voters for shifting preferences of course that could also change.
