Right, lets check a few boxes.
1. We -do not- compete with livestock for veggies. Livestock eats grain, and the grain livestock eats isn't fit for human consumption. It's grown on more marginal land, with less input and labor.
2. Livestock -are not- inefficient. We've put them to inefficient use. We've done so as a consequence of working a miracle over the last half-century with corn yields - but cattle, for example...can eat something that we simply can't. Grass. Most cattle are pastured, ofc, and that's why.
3. Factory farming is not only sustainable, it is the engine of -any- sustainable ag alternative. Folks forget that we went the factory route precisely -because- it's more efficient than open production.
I think that a decision to eat a vegan diet has compelling motivation enough without any attached disinformation.
