I agree that your point is perhaps less widely shared than mine. But my own view has come to be that the number of animals killed is actually rather unimportant, since I don’t expect that these industries will be greatly affected by the consumer choices of some citizens. I expect that political action and technology will play much bigger roles. And then the question becomes: is diet change important for political identity/action?
I think if the change requires minimal/smaller sacrifice on part of the consumer it’s more likely to succeed. Also even if systemic/technological change can have much higher impact, I would not rule out diet change completely because I also came across this post which questions the PTC hypothesis for alternative proteins.
