Not really, many many more people are B12 insufficient than there are vegans/vegetarians. And much of what B12 you get is because supplements are given...to the animals. See e.g. https://baltimorepostexaminer.com/carnivores-need-vitamin-b12-supplements/2013/10/30

You do have direct control over fisheries as much as you do over straws. But indeed, don't invalidate. Say "if you like X, you might also want to do Y which has an even greater impact"

So, "express network" instead of "highway". But other than marketing/communication, I didn't see much concrete suggestions of how to make them more inclusive.

Buffalo weren't eaten to almost extinction. And they don't give birth to 10 calves at a time.

...any economic system that does not take externalised costs into account. This is not unique to capitalism.

Yeah, I'd be quite surprised to see large increases in tourism anywhere in a +4° world...
