That is an excellent question, and as seen in "safety improvements" where humans eat up the safety margins anyway, I don't see making everyone become vegans panning out either, just stalling for time and assisting further population expansion, and setting the stage for a conversation in some future rogue group like "mmm... grass fed pacifist".
