Consumers have no control over the availability of the things they purchase.
Come on. That’s denialism. Let’s start by not eating beef nor lamb anymore. You’ve got a lot of choices : poultry, pork, fish, veganism, etc. Beef meat is producing plenty of carbon emission.
That’s capitalism. The consumer has no democratic input into the economic process.

Way ahead of you.
Of course, most meat produced in the US has historically been exported. Far more effective than individualist efforts at Veganism has been the Trump trade war with China. Far more effective than individual consumerism has been drought induced climate change.
Not under the profit motive, no. Industries monopolize. Territory is enclosed. Goods and services are enahittified. None of that is a consequence of consumer demand.
Where do the ultra wealthy get there wealth again,
The violent seizure of primitive and industrial capital from the working class.
Through the private ownership over the means of production which they leverage against the proletariat through the commodification of community goods and resources in order to coerce their labor of which they then profit off in a cruel and oppressive cycle of forced dependency which is maintained through the state.
By organizing to take back the means of production and revolutionize the system. Not uselessly deny yourself simple pleasures to feel morally superior to others by buying into the capitalist propaganda which shifts blame onto the consumer and away from the owners of production.
Consumers have no control over the availability of the things they purchase.
It’s empirically proven.

Cattle inventory has been on the decline since 1979 fully independent of cattle demand.
The cost per head has been rising. Beef share of the market is being priced out whether you eat it or not.
id love to see the underlying data that produced that graph

How is blaming yourself and strangers on the internet going? Have you succeeded in no longer causing global destruction? I hope so.

They get their wealth by stealing it from the workers.
