Meat (or rather, animals) also consume a lot more resources to produce the same amount of available-nutrient output. I'm a meat-eater too, and I agree with you

Meat (or rather, animals) also consume a lot more resources to produce the same amount of available-nutrient output. I'm a meat-eater too, and I agree with your assessment, but it's a little disingenuous to pretend that vegetarians have no reasons for their actions.
(Also, IME there are as many reasons to be vegetarian as there are vegetarians---they all have a slightly different answer.)

For chicken, the equivalent would be "pastured", and I bet it far less than 1% (I've never seen it for sale in supermarkets and I know you have to join a coop or something to get it).
