Exactly, and I think that's a much more reasonable and achievable goal than telling people to ditch meat from their diet entirely.
This podcast showed up in Google Reader for me today and pertains to this subject...

Meat eating has gotten a bad rap in recent years. It’s blamed for everything from animal cruelty to global warming to swine flu and cancer. But Jill Eisen argues it’s not meat that’s the problem - it’s the way we raise it. Most of our meat comes from mega-farms housing thousands of animals. Happily, there are alternatives that are humane, healthy and kind to the environment.
