In many places of the world, especially outside of cities, staying healthy without meat is challenging. Even where I am now in a midsized city in the United States, I have to drive 40 minutes to find a store with tempeh. Even if access wasn't a problem, I had to do a lot of research to make sure I'm hitting micronutrient targets, and then buy a number of supplements. It's too complicated.

I agree that there is a problem. But once again, pointing at individuals is not productive. Changes like this have to happen at a more centralized level. People (and businesses) will follow the path of least resistance and as long as producing and consuming meat is the easiest path, that's what most people will do.
