Reducing meat/dairy consumption seems to be one of the easiest changes we can make to lower GHG output, since it doesn't require major infrastructure changes.

But it also means changing habits, which is hard for other reasons.

It's also going to be hard to convince the hardcore carnivores: just 12% of the population eat over half the beef in the US.

Are you saying if we eat the hardcore carnivores, the job is done, easy peasy?
