So does the world going to change?
The idea that livestock makes climate change and deforestation worse isn't novel - the point article making is billions of people switching to Western diet and population growth within limited resources.
I don't think there is a chance, vegan substitutes to non-vegan food exists but they're either expensive or taste bad.
For example cheese, i don't think any of you realize how pervasive, cheap and nutritious it is. I'm not against veganism in principle, but i'm sure most of non-vegans care about nutrition and taste more than "saving the world"(they would eat food without caring if its vegan or not, just looking at its taste and price). Vegans have no clear alternative to cheese that is as cheap or nutritious/tasty as cheese itself.
