[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 74319598, member: 385144"] They aren't more environmentally friendly necessarily though. Much of the land clearance in South America is to produce Soya, which obviously makes up fair percentages here. Cattle are often grazed on marginal land, or not suitable for intensive agriculture, which the demand for meat-analogues would need to fill by increasing acreage under conventional cultivation. The end result might just be more deforestation anyhow. I've heard the argument that eating more insects would be the better way for environmentally friendly substitutes for large grazing animals. As to methane from cows being responsible for global warming, I don't think that is as obvious as people pretend. Besides, it is not unnatural percentages, as we just changed the ruminants: North America used to have bison herds stretching from horison to horison, which now has just been replaced with cattle.
