If everyone stopped eating beef (which can graze on land that cannot be cultivated without irrigation), we'd have to eat 2-4x more volume of legumes and vegetables to get adequate protein. Planting, fertilizing (50% of nitrogen in fertilizer comes from petroleum), irrigating and harvesting would have significant environmental impacts that these "scientists" haven't taken into account.

Maybe we could get someone to do a calculation about the environmental effect (in terms of "equivalent to ### of cars taken off the road) if everyone in the U.S. stopping eating grains!  |
