Is there just a crossover point for you or you think if noone ate meat that graph would still go up?

i honestly don't know. i do know vegans exist, and i suspect there are more now than ever, but the line still goes up.

Its pretty minor. The real gains are countries setting their national policy around diets that are half or more plant based. That sends a clear message about what role meat should have in a healthy diet, and will affect the most people.

You could call that regulation I suppose.

i have no reason to believe that the production of meat will decrease due to the nordic dietary guidelines. keep me posted, though.

In those areas it likely will. I doubt it will take the line down on your graph either though.

Who knows what the tipping point is. Maybe China publishes a guideline similar to that and it does change things enough to show it on the graph.
