Meat and meat products are the worst by far. Dairy and eggs aren’t quite as bad. It’s estimated that dairy consumption increases greenhouse gas emissions by only 2%, and most of that is coming out of the animals’ behinds.

I'm not getting this. You still have to raise the cows to maturity in order to milk them; you still have to transport the milk, same as the meat, then pasteurize it. Not to mention all the other resources involved in the production of cheese, yogurt, butter, etc. So how is dairy production any less harmful for the environment?
