I was going to reply to your other comment calling me lazy but bioemerl already beat me to it.

Partial solutions are just workarounds. They are inconvenient and people will not bother to implement them without a good incentive to do so. If meat was significantly more expensive then I might be forced to implement change. I have already switched from beef to pork in some of my meals due to price. We as a specifies respond way better to economic incentives than we do to guilt about a nebulous and still relatively controversial issue such a climate change.

It’s unreasonable for you to expect people to put in a lot of time an effort to completely rethink their dietary routine just because it causes excess climate change.
