The main reasons for going as far to the animal welfare side as I did: -I suspect there are more unexplored opportunities to have an outsized impact on the animal welfare side due to neglectedness. -The scale of the problem is very larger (~100 billion lives a year in meat production, and that's not even the entire problem). -The meat eater problem plays a part as well. If you save someone and they go on eating meat, that could have a negative impact as well. However, this line of argumentation might be a can of worms.
Global health still has some weight due to: -Global health is targeted at poorer populations who generally consume less meat. -The reduction of disease/poverty can have some instrumental value (cynical, people not dying => ++productivity => better lives in the future) -Of course, reduction in poverty/disease is good in itself too.
