    Also if the diet was optimised (much less red meat, and meat in general), imagine how much carbon emissions would reduced.

      Honestly, if we just stopped meat production that would pretty much be it for emission reductions from diet. Plant-based stuff is so efficient by comparison it hardly even matters.

        With slow progress, such as starting with beef: the ‘steak dinner’ needs to gradually disappear. Or we get to a point with lab grown meat that it becomes indistinguishable, and real meat becomes the black market meal of the filthy rich, or the disgust of eating a real living animal becomes strong in the mindset of the people.

        Disclaimer: I do eat meat but I do make a point of not eating beef and pork dishes if I can.
