Smallholding is, in my eyes at least, the only answer for those that wish to remain omnivores. Look the poor beast that you’ve raised in the eyes as you bump it off. Butcher it yourself, take its calf away and hear the screams of dismay so you can steal her milk.
Top up the freezer with bambi and roadkill.
Any reason one can’t keep a pig and a few chickens in London?As has been mentioned, partaking in this cruelty is a choice so you really should be up close and personal with it.

Surrey Docks city farm did (do?) a thing where pigs on the farm go off to the abbatoir then come back as carcasses and they have a "Sausage Day" where sausages get made, cooked and eaten. Great for city kids. Notably they don't do it with the long term resident pigs, they get new ones in I think for a few months, but long enough that local kids will have met them.

I think the Foot'n'Mouth outbreak back in 2001
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_United_Kingdom_foot-and-mouth_outbreak#Health_and_social_consequences
resulted in changes to freedom of livestock movement and feedstock restrictions,
making it much harder to keep a suburban pig fed on 'swill'.
Not a farmer/not a meat-eater, could easily be wrong.

... seem to be missing a fundamental point, to me (though I am an omnivore / tacit collaborator in systematic animal torture), which is the starting point of this thread: if I AM AN OMNIVORE, and am not going to stop being that, what can I do to reduce suffering of animals and the planet?
