How would forcing veganism not be a net benefit? In general, people would be much healthier and we'd be using much less water, which will become more scarce as temperatures rise.

The ridiculous part is that by allowing people to eat meat, you are taking away the sovereignty of animals over their own bodies (the ones killed to make that meat).
They deserve to have rights too. There's a reason that animal abuse laws are a thing. The absurd thing is that it only applies to some species of animals and not others, especially when some of them are smarter than domestic animals.
