Ok... So involuntary vegetarian...

Idk, sound like not the worst thing.

Even as a vegan, I'll say, robbing folks of autonomy over food is truly awful. Food holds deep cultural and psychological meanings.

I'd take a few folks eating meat less regularly (willingly, and seeing value in it) over any number of folks forced into vegetarianism.
