How about you redirect this question to the people actually responsible for setting the planet on fire and inevitably turning my children's futures to smoldering ash? I can only just barely afford to eat meat, certainly not every day, and any form of travel is a distant, impossible pipedream.

This is not my fault or responsibility. Life under capitalism hasn't afforded me that luxury. I do not get to make decisions, they are too expensive.

I've grown up under capitalism to and giving up meat was easy.

It's at least not more expensive (maybe unless you live in bumfucknowhere and they won't properly stock beans).

Both are necessary.
