My standing theory on this is as follows.
First, make a basic diet consisting of fruits, nuts, non animal products in general in combination with snacks and a healthy total calorie and content intake.
Secondly, make animal protein cost correspond to required farmland in non animal protein (real stake is 15 times more expensive than soy stake for example)
Thirdly, try to produce as much of animal protein as possible from hunting/gathering/foraging activities.
In other words. Make sure everyone gets everything they want to eat thats healthy at all times. Then make sure that if they want to indulge they have stuff that is while unhealthy to them, not unhealthy to others. And then if neither of these makes the person content, then offer animal protein.
I estimate that this system would probably reduce animal protein use by 75-90%
Animal protein would be produced in a human way by:
1 all nature park actions that produce game. (Hunting bears that come too close to humans, herds of deer that are too large, etc.)
2 fishing that doesn't require nets.
3 all farms that have animals for secondary compost purposes (most organic farms would have a few cattle animals to eat all the non usable plant / etc)
4 foraging for dead insects (locust swarms for example)
These 4 sources of animal protein would be almost perfectly in balance with human intake requirements. Cattle cant live without caretakers and if taken care of in a good manner live quite well. Fishing is accetable unless it depopulates oceans in general, and most nature parks would produce a small but not insignificant amounts of meat if well tended.
All 4 would be symbiotic or semi-symbiotic and produce the required small amounts of animal protein to keep the option open and to require no large scale adjustements.
If all it would take to solve the eternal conflict between vegetarians and carnivores for all future generations is that we all agree to lower the price of non animal based food by 50% and increase animal based food cost by 1000% I would call it a win win. Probably would eliminate the whole discord that this situation generates.
