I don't disagree. I understand arguments for less meat. What I don't understand is abolition...that's just silly and a huge environmental catastrophe.

  How is it a catastrophe? Why does the environment need domesticated livestock? Why does the food chain need us to be a predator?

    To be able to produce the calories currently made by meat using relatively meh land, we'd have to heavily increase our fertilizer use and deforestation to be able to grow enough human edible plants (grains or legumes really, since tubers are difficult to transport).

      It's been my impression that eliminating meat consumption would produce less need for farmland and fertilizer, not more.
