The UN issues all kinds of guidelines - it is unlikely any broad sweeping changes would be actually implemented by US federal law - but eventually they will have to do something as more & more deniers finally realize (as it is too late) that global warming is not a hoax

The livestock and meat processing industry is a climate crisis contributor that could make positive change for our future well being

Carl Sagan describes it very simply and eloquently here

Ah good old fashioned global cooling... I mean warming... I mean climate change. Look, it's undeniable that humans contribute to climate change in SOME capacity. I still think the single biggest contributor is roofs and concrete, but, yeah, let's kill the cows first and see how that goes, I guess.

Killing the cows is actually the problem they are trying to address

In all seriousness - the methane situation is an actual problem in the grand scheme of greenhouse effect and the meat industry is the largest culprit. 

I don't go many meals without consuming raised livestock of some sort - but it sure wouldn't hurt anyone's health to consume more sustainable seafood or mix in a veg-based meal from time to time. Doesn't have to be some bio-engineered substitute. Just something more sustainable on the dinner table 10% of the time would make a BIG difference in the methane production from the meat industry.
