Eating no meat and no dairy has been very easy. One slaughterhouse uses over one million gallons of fresh water every day, just for washing down bloody carcasses and cleaning up. That is just one tiny part of the waste of water and energy that goes into meat. Meat contributes more to global warming than all transport combined (see "Livestock's Long Shadow", a UN/FAO report).
I wish people would eat at least less meat and dairy. 2,600 gallons of water go into one pound of meat. Most of the grain grown goes to feed dairy cows and chickens and all the other 'food animals'. Land is degraded by cattle. And in the end, the animals kill us by giving us heart disease and cancer. It makes not much sense.
