One issue I think we're facing is that people over-react.
In Western countries we probably consume too much meat and animal products in general. But that does not mean we should 'ban' animal products and go vegan.
To me it seems more reasonable, easier for people, and healthy to simply reduce: Don't eat meat every day/every meal.
Same goes for e.g. milk. I'm especially not convinced that having almond milk shipped all the way across the world from California (which suffers from water shortages) is better from the environment than simply drinking less milk, but local milk.
