I don’t think Europeans should stop eating meat but I think we should stop using protein rich food suitable for humans to feed livestock. Livestock are good for taking inedible grass and turning it into protein.
Deforesting South America to grow protein rich cow food for Europeans is absurd.

I still eat meat though, but I live in Australia so we have relatively inexpensive grass fed stuff that is produced domestically (for now).
