This wasn't about "why dont' you just", the entire thread you're replying to was about whether or not people have a choice and can vote with their wallets.
I argue they do.
> It's the same with people choosing to stop driving.
Depends on where you live. If there is good public transport infrastructure, more people may decide not to drive.
I don't even own a car, and not because of some environmental reasoning, but because it's more of a hassle than it's worth. I fully understand that this is not possible if ones lives in the US however.
So instead of prying people from their cars, the solution is probably to have good alternatives.
However not every indulgence has good alternatives.
And lastly, it's not the same. Your comparison is completely disingenuous. You may need a car. It is a utility. But you don't need meat.
> If you try it you'll just notice nobody else gives a shit and you're making this huge sacrifice while they continue to have fun.
If it is your stated belief that it is wrong to eat certain meat, and you do so anyways, you're just a massive hyprocrite. What others are doing doesn't even factor into it. Justifying your own behavior with what someone else is doing is just whataboutism.
