Actually that's the stronest argument for veganism (?) ever. Once I saw a semi-reliable figure for how much land is necessary to raise cattle... They did the math and got a figure for what area produces meat with 100Kcal of nutrition in it per year. Calculated the same figure for vegetables... Meat needs 10x or more times the resources, I don't remember. Land, water, oil, everything. Which is why I have a respect for non-meat-eaters whatever the correct name is. That and animals are treated really bad on industrial farms... But then the kind of BS some of them poison the world with... worse then CO2 pollution or water poisoning for sure.
