Most of this isn’t new. And globally, more people are turning vegan and more people are becoming vegetarian, because of scientific studies like this. But it isn’t happening fast enough, as people are also getting richer and as they get richer, they also want more meat. Meat consumption needs to be taxed, CO2 intensive products (production/transport/disposal) must be taxed, but even then the turn around will be very slow.

Yes, and the subsidies that animal flesh gets needs to stop completely. these subsidies would make animal flesh completely impossible for the regular person to afford. Animal flesh really is a luxury. A lot of poor countries are vegan, or at least vego because animal flesh is expensive.
