Yes, but farming soybeans destroys land and is dependent on pesticides and chemicals from companies like Monsanto. Pasture-raised grass-fed beef instead revitalizes land, provides natural fertilizer for plant growth, and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere to combat climate change. Not all meat is the same.
I actually agree entirely, but factory farm meat will continue to be cheaper so long as corn subsidies are so high, and those aren't going anywhere any time soon. Which means that for the time being, meat consumption is the less environmentally friendly option.
