Yeah, the “stop eating meat is doable” is not doable. Ppeoli simply won’t do it. What you can (should) do is increase taxes on meat. If meat becomes twice as expensive, people will eat it less. Use the extra tax income to subsidize meat alternatives, make those more attractive.
We can do with a LOT less cars if we wanted to. Same as with meat, we don’t want it. Still, most car rides are under 3 miles, which can easily be done by bike but good luck being the politician pushing bikes. Or increased taxes on meat.

No reason we cant do all of these things. Taxing meat is a geat idea too.
There is a big reason we can’t do any of that.
The general public is dumb, and politicians happily watch the world burn if they can rule the ashes.
Because of that, no politician will ever push for any of that.
Sadly you are probably correct here too
