I feel like his comments do not apply to all of the world. In Japan for example, meat consumption is so prominent that we hardly ever consider not having meat. Sure, there is a lot of hamburger here but for the most part people stick to meat in its natural state - lots of pork, beef. Trying to convert Japan from a pork eating society would probably be a feeble attempt.

You might be surprised to learn that the consumption of most common meat was banned in Japan from 675C to 1872CE:

That was an Emperial ban when emperors had power. Pulling a similar stunt now would be impossible.
