Well, we're already there but the majority of people still don't see it as barbaric. Some people have been vegan their whole lives, in perfect health, and reached peak athletic condition.
I believe it's more of a cultural problem, and a practice that's kept alive by our current superstructure. In France for example, eating cheese, saucisson, and foie gras is seen as an essential part of being French. Because of that, many people see "being vegan" as an attack on their identity, they don't think/care about the harm they are causing.
We have all the information available about animal suffering, environmental damage, livestock-related zoonoses, slaughter house workers PTSD incidence... but it's pretty complicated for people to change habits when they already made them a part of who they are, and have an emotional attachement to them.
