What would happen if everyone stopped eating meat tomorrow?
“It would have huge consequences — a lot of them probably not anticipated,” one researcher said.

All the carnivore animals would die out. There would be a huge mass extinction event. The ecosystem would collapse in about 10 to 15 years.
Bees would die out, they require meat products to survive, not many but they do need them. Once the bees go, we would see a massive amounts of plant die off. These are critical to the pollination life cycle.
I don't know how far the effects would reach, but we would probably go back to a planet of algae and lichen in many areas.
Depending on where we draw the line, if microbes can no longer process organic material from animals, the atmosphere would change slowly....
Industrial food production is entirely unrelated to our ecosystem. Industrial honey producing bees are not the ones we care about. They provide little to the ecosystem. We need wild bees and industrial honey production is replacing them. An industrial pig farm does nothing for wild carnivores. Human consumption is what is destroying the ecosystem today.

Because the title was about not eating meat.. which is a interesting thought experiment
🤦♂️
