Fake Meat is Worse for the Environment than Real Meat

I used to be a vegan.

Like, a hardcore one. I had “vegan” tattooed on my arm (now covered up) and followed a strictly “plant based” diet for over 6 years. It was my entire identity.

I thought it was logical that veggie burgers and meat-less meatballs were a million times better for animals and the environment.

Of course meat is horrible for the planet. I mean, factory farms are basically the devil incarnated, right?
