Sure, but there's a strong upper bound to how much we can reduce transportation. There's also a limit on rich people, meaning the absolute savings to be had, even if all of them "transported" like the median person, is miniscule compared to the meat industry.
Meat is also just one category of food, whereas "transportation" is an entire concept. We can remove all meat and still have food.
Finally, what is more realistic? 10% of people going vegan, or all rich people suddenly stop using cruises etc.? "But it's not my job, but it's not my fault, but they should!" In the history of all social justice movements, never has it been anyones job, and never have the people most responsible been the ones to do the job. It is what it is.
