Carne Carneage?

An Oxford University study (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jul/19/rising-global-meat-consumption-will-devastate-environment), pointing out that the amount of meat eaten per person has doubled on our planet in the past 50 years, has concluded that the rising global consumption of these food items will 'devastate' the environment. This is because the rearing of meat-producing animals (which would clearly increase) would greatly add to the production of 'greenhouse gases' (both carbon dioxide and methane). One of the difficulties is that meat has gained the status of a luxury item that many people have aspired to eat (sometimes earlier having lacked the purchasing power). It is, of course, not easy to reduce this trend by a) appealing to people to consider the environment in their food choices; b) pointing out the health risks of excessive meat consumption; c) stressing animal welfare issues and/or d) downgrading meat's luxury status.
