Prob because it’s about as effective for plastic pollution as telling people to recycle which was pushed by companies instead of actually stopping production of single use plastics.

To actually address the issue, Major reforms are needed to manufacturing, transportation and by FAR most importantly, energy production. Attacking the 15% food production part is dumb and more likely to cause people to ignore the substantial benefits from the other initiatives because everyone changing their diet at once is a crazy goal.

Honestly this might just self resolve. As the climate zones shift north there’s gonna be catastrophic herd losses. Meat will just get too expensive.
