Is anyone asking for it to "disappear" or is that hyperbolic hysteria (as usual) from the right wing?
The idea is to both decrease consumption, incorporate alternative forms of protein more often and work toward a more sustainable, less land-and-transportation intensive meat producing system. All of that is eminently achievable, better for the environment and better for human health and can be accomplished relatively easily while still allowing people to enjoy eating meat.
I friggin love meat and grilling and am down with the plan. We have already stopped buying ANY factory-farmed meat and get all of ours from this local farm:
100% grass fed and finished beef, timber raised pork, and pasture raised chicken & eggs. A regenerative farm in Cambridge, Illinois raising livestock on pasture.

It is a little more expensive, but that is all the more reason to cut back on consumption and have it 1 to 2 times a week instead of 3 to 4. Easy, incremental change. Better for environment. Better taste. Healthier. And no one is forcing me to eat insects or go vegan!
