    If we were really serious we'd:

    Stop the use of bunker oil & make the ocean going fleet clean up their act with cleaner power plants.

    Stop tourism based aircraft flights.

    Limit the sheep / cattle / chicken population

    Reduce deforestation.

    That would reduce protein intake to a point where human physical and mental development is severely hampered. Bad idea.

    There are plenty of ways to maintain (more than) sufficient dietary intake including protein without needing the current beef/lamb/pork/chicken farming practices that we currently have. You'll note I used the term "limit" not "ban".

    Even taking a more community based approach to farming & food distribution rather than the cyurrent hub & spoke approach would be beneficial.

    The beef consumption was not a problem in the seventies with population of around 2 billion.
