I don't see why it is wrong "on so many levels". There are 3 issues that immediately come to mind but I see don't see any of them as being "wrong".
1/ Effect on the economy by reducing the meat industry.
2/ The attitude that "I'm not making much impact".
3/ We've always done this so we should continue to do this.
First point. Economies change and there are always winners and losers with change.
If (and given your country's record of social service I don't like your chances) a government looks after its citizens people would be catered for.
Second point. A huge number of people making a small difference can have a large impact. Of course individual rights are much more important than the collective so f*ck you all.
Third point. Times change.
