What a joke. It is animal agriculture that is doing so much
damage to the planet.

Takes about 3-1/4 acres just to feed the animals that the typical
American/Brit (etc.) eats the products of.
A vegan can live off 1/10 acre.

It takes 5 gallons of water to raise a pound of wheat and
5000 gallons of water to raise a pound of beef, and they
have about the same amount of protein.

I don't get it. "Vegetarians" are carnivores. They eat animal
products. They are phonies. Wannabees.

An herbivore eats no animal products. Like a 'vegan'.
That's what counts.

Doesn't matter whether the cow is being raised for milk
or meat.
