That's fantastic to hear (I've been vegetarian for 20+ years. I still eat eggs and dairy but in moderation), but I'm looking beyond the anecdotal and more at the structural issues. We have 8 states that have outlawed selling cultured meat, so from a policy standpoint, that's certainly problematic.

Also, when you see projections of per capita meat consumption, it doesn't seem like it's going down or even flatlining, but going up. If that remains true, but the focus is only on things like more solar/wind and using EVs, we still have a problem.

Unfortunately the discussion about what is on people's plate is something so triggering and so emotional for a certain type of individual (probably in the majority still at this point - I'll see people that are progressive as hell, and yet still, especially the males, falling for gender-coded nonsense about the value of eating meat and boasting about it.)

Attempts at rational conversations can easily be diverted into stupid cul-de-sacs by the proteinmaxxers and the manosphere nonsense (not eating meat is frequently discussed as something for women or for limp-wristed men), or even more absurdly the conspiracy theory nonsense: "you'll own nothing and be happy" - there are a lot of those prone to conspiracy theories that believe any rational discussion about climate and what's on your plate mean that you are falling for the Davos set wanting you to live in a shoe box and eat bugs, apparently.
