how can we make America eat less meat

Eating a lot of meat harms our body and animals because a lot of the meat we eat goes and stores as fat so that's where obesity comes in, and it harms animals by us just chopping and cooking up animals as if they will never go extinct.  We always wonder why us as a community are gaining so much weight and thinking it's either because we eat too much bread and more carbs then we are supposed to when in reality us gouging our mouth with fats and oils that we use to cook the meat in and the meat is what actually bloats our stomachs.  I feel as if we have never taken a step back and have actually looked at the bigger picture of whats really going on in our world today.  How could we possibly change this is what you're probably thinking.  By eating veggies and other foods that aren't meat Monday - Friday with a side dish and possibly only eat meat on the weekends we can help to end a lot of the meat-eating that has been going on.  I feel like it could be a challenge but it's a challenge that I would like to accept and I feel as if other people would be interested in it too.
