We cannot keep extracting more and more resources from our finite planet, at least not without destroying it in the process, as the current situation clearly shows. The root cause of the issues pointed out in the article is the level of the global population. If we were, say, 500 million on the planet we would not even be discussing how much meat we could eat sustainably because we would not have that problem in the first place. Dismissing this as "Malthusianism has been proven wrong" is dangerously misguided and myopic. Unfortunately many people refuse to face reality for ingrained cultural reasons, it's in effect taboo.
