Implying that animal agriculture is more sustainable is false, unless you're able to back this up with actual data. 80% of Amazon rainforest deforestation has been driven by cattle farming (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/08/27/how-beef-demand-is-accelerating-amazons-deforestation-climate-peril/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/08/27/how-beef-...) According to USDA data, over 70% of soy grown in the U.S. is fed to animals (https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/coexistence-soybeans-factsheet.pdf https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/coexisten...) Dairy uses almost double the water of almond milk per glass, as well as ~4x the carbon footprint and more than 10x the land.
