I fully agree, although I'm not vegetarian I have plenty of days that I don't eat any meat at all so in the past years I've been definitely trying to eat less meat.
I've noticed that when I eat more meat one day, because it's a good meal for example, I immediately pay the price as it's not a smooth for me internally as it is when I eat mostly veggies. Every time it happens, I stay away from it fully for some days because of the discomfort.
I'm surely against any animal suffering btw, I wish that didn't exist at all :(
Although eating meat will always involve animal suffering, this can certainly be drastically reduced if more people start eating vegetarian one or a few days a week. I don't think prevention will ever be possible unless every meat eater in the world switches to cultured meat. And I don't think that will ever happen.
Now I also know that every type of food we eat will be a burden on the planet to some extent. Vegan and vegetarian food also pose a burden. As I said, for me, animal suffering was the main reason to go vegetarian. This does not mean that I eat completely animal-friendly, because unfortunately, I can't bring myself to eat vegetarian cheese and eggs, for example. I find the cheese tasteless, and far too expensive. Vegan eggs are the same story. I know that there is a lot of animal suffering there too, and I don't eat it much anymore. But in any case, no animals are slaughtered for that. A dead chicken doesn't lay an egg and a dead cow doesn't give milk.
Nobody is perfect, let's just say that I try to do the best I can to prevent animal suffering.
This is it exactly, I know there's not a one size fits all package for each person, I tried the vegan cheeses myself and found only one that I really liked in Budapest BUT it was indeed super expensive and not sustainable to buy that cheese only. On top of that, I was the only one loving it :)
I think it also helps (with eggs) to not buy the cheapest eggs available, I always go for the XL ones and they are of far better quality (at least here) than the cheap M sized ones. They taste so much better, I can't imagine the smaller ones come from chickens in the same circumstances.

We always buy the eggs directly from a farm nearby where we see every day that the chickens are happily roaming around outside on a large piece of land. Where we see that they are fed well and where the natural needs of a chicken are met. They are also friendly in terms of price which is also a plus for us.

Yeah that's great, I hope one day we will be ablet to do the same .. right now I'm leaning towards trying the eggs from the fruteria as I saw them having a lot of fresh veggies and even dragonfruit :) lol..
I don't think it's doable to buy all veggies and eggs there though, usually it's quite a bit expensive in total but we'll see. Step by step :)
