Anecdotally meat has definitely helped me with my health in so many countless ways. However, this study can’t prove causations.

The OP didn’t say it’s the best thing a society can do, he said it’s the best a PERSON can do. One person deciding not to eat meat will not fix the climate crisis.
I think you are missing a huge point. A society is made up of lots of "one person" entities. For your argument to be valid, I need to accept that you seriously believe the OP was claiming one person can fix climate change. So which is it?
I'd say the first big thing to highlight is that correlation is not causation - you wouldn't want someone to take this study as proof that eating meat makes you less depressed. I would imagine that vegans (in particular vegans who chose their diet on ethical grounds) are overall more concerned about the state of the world around them - or are at least subjected to more of an echo-chamber effect from their peers - whi…
While this meta-analysis suggests that there may be correlation here, I would wait for more proper studies to be conducted and maybe an eventual meta-analysis with better studies included preferably funded by a disinterested party before concluding that a correlation exists.

I don't think you're wrong. Ignorance is bliss, sometimes. If everyone had to meet the meat before their meals, we'd be able to bring consumption right down. (And by that I'd include the whole impact of cow breeding on the environment etc, right down to the execution.)
So you think hunters and people tend livestock eat less meat?

BS - the steak you didn’t eat yesterday doesn’t resurrect the cow, it just gets eaten by someone else.
The less animals products you buy the lower the demand. Have enough people reduce meat consumption and fewer animals will be bred and killed. It's not about "resurrecting the cow".
