Yes, rich people eat more meat. A lot more. From OWID
Is this relationship causal? Probably. Obviously this is hard to establish but I’d bet that if we did have well-identified studies they’d validate that.
Is the increase in meat consumption per capita as incomes rise offset by declining birth rates? Probably not. The differences in meat consumption between rich and poor countries is large (can easily be a factor of 10 or more).
Does a $5000 donation to ACE offset the potential harms? This is a deep question. I suppose you could build a model to address it. I think that model would be extremely brittle and probably rest on weak evidentiary foundations. So I have no idea.
My thought: I would take the job that most increases your human capital. I am increasingly of the opinion that the future is going to be weird and we really, really need to be building skills. The big picture is too murky to think about in a productive way and things are going to be chaotic. We should focus on navigating the incoming chaos.
