Just as some examples, we can either harvest fish from the ocean or not. Fish are there either way. People who hunt wild game are also using a resource which is there and can either be utilised or not. Even beef, the poster child of environmentalism, think about the fact that the majority of beef produced in Australia is farmed in the arid areas on which it is impossible to grow any plant crops. We can either use that land to produce beef (or we could farm kangaroos or camels or goats or other animals which do well in arid environments) or we can leave it to go completely unused. If we were to compare these to the most intensive forms of plant-based food production, or the least efficient, we would be able to say that eating meat is the environmentally responsible option.
Of course, in reality, there are good and bad forms of both and it’s not as simple as one entire category being good and the other bad. Without a doubt, the most efficient way to feed the world is not veganism. It is the most efficient forms of meat and plant production combined. It’s sure as heck not these ultra processed, heavily packaged, unhealthy, vegan meat substitute nonsense foods the virtue signalers claim taste better than garbage.
A far more genuine approach to efficient food choices would be to avoid processed and high mileage foods.
