When you consider that livestock produce methane and are fed high quality grain and beans among other vegetables the findings are very questionable.
There is an overwhelming consensus from multiple academic studies showing the opposite in terms of environmental impact. Considering that the amount of grain used to feed relatively few cattle could be feeding many more humans it is amazing.
It is true that there are very sustainable and very unsustainable agricultural practices in the growing of food... but that is a totally different thing from the findings of this study.
Must be a response to the UN + WHO noises recently.
The article talks about high water content vegetables, not high quality grain and beans. It does not seem so unlikely that foods that almost don't provide calories are more harmful when compared on a calorie basis.
(Of course on the other hand no one eats 25 pounds of lettuce and broccoli a day)
