Considering that vegitarians make up only 4% of the populous, and that only .02% of the populous is vegan I highly doubt it makes much of an impact. Besides we can have sustainable farming, and raise animals in a cleaner more efficient manner. All meat does not come from large factory farms, infact my meat comes from a local farmer who has on average 100 cows at any given time. A cow could feed me for well over a year. Big farms used for commercial meat is the problem, not the small organic guys. We could also say soy destroys the rain forrest, and corn destroys the mid west. The grass fed beef I eat comes from cows that eat grass, and roam free, so that means limited waste. Also, alot of the land where grass fed ranches are,are also not suitable for farming anyways, and having animals enriches the soil. Don't just blame meat, blame the corporate scum bags who produce it,and the cheap bastards who buy the commercial product. These same scum bags also happen to be the ones who produce soy milk.
