You can't break down the environmental impact of foods by saying "meat bad, veg good" - it's far more nuanced than that. Most of the environmental impact of any food comes from clearing land for monoculture, subsidized water supply systems, pesticides and herbicides to keep competing plants at bay, labor intensive harvesting, transportation, storage and the distribution supply chain. I could grow my own lettuce (best), buy it from a local farmer (good) or buy it from a supermarket (worst) - how it gets to your table is by far the biggest driver of environmental impact, not the food itself. Sure, we should be eating less meat. But it's not a panacea, we must address the systemic problems of industrial agriculture that makes veganism possible.
