These articles appear from time to time, and they're simultaneously correct and misleading. The reality is you can get a little extra food vs. a pure vegan diet by grazing animals on land unsuitable for farming. But doing that comes at a huge cost of removing wildlife habitat.

You can make a strong case that in an era of climate change, we can no longer afford the greenhouse gases produced by cattle, pigs, and sheep.
