I've noticed that where we (aus/nz) refer to it differently, a lot of countries just group "all things sheep" under "mutton".

Do you mean, as in "the meat trade will continue"?
Yeah, it will...but if you did feel like personally inclined to stop, it should be for your own reasons, a person doesn't need to make a difference to the whole world to in themselves feel better.
Me, I'm not about to stop eating meat - as it is, it's not all that much (I've got mates who eat some kind of meat in literally EVERY MEAL) and my body has grown rather used to it - eg, better equipped to absorb certain things from that which it's more used to.
I think that a BIG problem in this world is just how MUCH meat is consumed, either in frequency or ratio to vegetation.
Could just be me though, I love, LOVE salad...like crazy, vegetables, I'm way big on too. Indians, the non-vegetarian ones that is, they tend to do the meat thing right.
An easy enough way to do it is this - never eat a portion of meat bigger'n your palm, and eat 3 times as many salad and vegetables as that.
