If you could get everyone in the world to change their behavior in one way, what would you have them do differently?

if i was lucky enough to bend the world at my will i would wave a magic wand to make everyone vegan. yup, all vegies, fruits, beans, greens and whole grains all the time. yum yum. a compassionate world is a peaceful world. in my perfect vision everyone would see the benefits, the joy and the bliss that comes from not eating animals and animal byproducts. lean waist line, increased energy, no global warming. no bad cholesterol! a clear mind full of peace and love. that's my wish.

I'd love to see a sci-fi writer take this one on to imagine how it played out. Start with a simple scenario: a viral contagion eliminates mankind's ability to digest animal proteins. What then? The first industries to fall would certainly be meat processing and fast food, but I imagine agriculture centers would be next since they exist primarily to serve animals raised for food. My next question is how agribusiness would change… Is the local "slow food" movement sustainable for everyone on Earth, or would it switch to insane factory farming for fruits/vegetables? Interesting question.
