Look at what legislatures do vs what "people" say. Lots of stupid stuff gets said, but in the end the only concrete measures are the continued subsidization of meat and making it illegal for vegan substitutes to be called "meat" or "milk" or similar.

That's one of your straw men, that the elite are working towards banning meat. In reality, 99/100 of the elite enjoy steak. They may pretend otherwise when giving speeches to certain crowds, but look at what they do, not what they say.
