Make animal agriculture illegal

The Issue

Yes, it's common sense to make meat illegal.
 Meat kills: us, the planet, people in developing countries, but above all the billions of animals slaughtered each year. Numerous studies have shown that meat causes a variety of health issues, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Meat is among the three biggest climate killers, and among the 5 top soil and water polluters. Meat takes up way too much natural resources. We could feed 10 billion of people if we would go on a vegan diet. And there is no such thing as animal-friendly meat, since ultimately, the animal gets killed. We shouldn't continue with a practice that is utterly destructive. The only reasons for eating meat in this world are pleasure (taste) and convenience because meat is readily available in our western culture - more so than plant-based options. That should not be reason enough to pursue a destructive life style.
