    We at least wouldn’t be at the same starting point since regardless of what happens, we’d still be with much lower environmental impact, zoonetic disease risk for society at large, number of animals in factory farms, etc.


    Plant-based foods have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than animal-based foods. Even the least sustainable vegetables and cereals cause less environmental harm than the lowest impact meat and dairy products
