I'd like to think that eating meat responsibly is all about balance/moderation.
I think we've gone too extreme in our diets, meat-focussed and sugar-focussed. They are easy filling calories.
Michael Pollan's writing on this subject is always reasonable: "a little bit of everything, but mostly veg". I think you're never going to get the average person to cut down in an extreme way (veganism, 100% veggie) -- so it has to be about balance. People's livelihoods depend on meat farming but we just can't do too much of it.
There is no wonder that kidney disease is on the rise as well:
