and lets be honest, nobody is "demanding devastating sacrifices" here, especially when referring to commercial air travel and eating meat. most people can't afford to travel by air very frequently at all, both in the US and especially worldwide, and for most people eating less meat is almost certainly a positive health benefit, even disregarding the many reasons animal farming is unsustainable. nothing about that trade off is devastating.
