I agree with you completely. However, try telling people you're vegan/vegetarian anywhere outside of the major western cities and you'll understand what I'm talking about. The reactions from complete strangers will absolutely shock you.
If everyone would just cut down on meat, even avoid it a few days of the week, it would make an enormous positive impact. Same goes for seafood.
From the perspective of someone who eats meat twice a week or so, it's absurd to hear people say they couldn't do it. Yeah, they could.
Of course, with governments subsidizing the hell out of the meat industry those $0.99 McDonalds specials will keep encouraging everyone to eat it 3x/day...
