@tetraodon you'll hear from the oil industry that quitting oil is unrealistic as well. You just say that because you're engulfed into the meat industry, but meat is not oxygen, it's not necessary to live

I completely agree, but (most) people don't eat meat to survive. They do it for cultural and personal reasons which are often beyond negotiation.

Personally, I'm vegetarian for strictly environmental reasons. But I realize I'm a minority, and vegans are a minority within a minority.

And since not even able to wean off my wife off meat, I do not believe that vegans preaching can make humanity completely abandon animal products.
