Moralizing can work, though. Recall slavery, child labor, feminism, equal rights, welfare (,healthcare outside the USA).

Plant based meat substitutes will improve (via the production learning curve and competition) if there is enough demand.

(According to this article that attracted much comment[1] a few days ago, though, artificial meat is a non-starter.)

Slavery took a civil war to be abolished in the USA. Child labour only ended following massive strikes that were violently repressed at first in Europe.

Not sure what you mean here by “modern feminism”. The idea that people should be treated as individuals regardless of their gender seems like a huge societal win.
