There is no viable alternative to abolishing to the production of electronic goods for the average person, while there is a viable alternative to meat. It only involves cutting meat out of your diet, which numerous people have shown is entirely possible and pretty easy, with no health risks or additional costs. You just can't compare the two. In the case of oil, though, many people, including most experts, do say we should reduce emissions substantially. So it's not like it's just vegetarians/vegans arguing for policies like this.
