> It is not about food type, it is about how it's produced.
It absolutely is!
A single cow produces around 220 pounds of methane and around 200 pounds of ammonia per year. That's equivalent to 5ish gigatons of CO2, again per cow per year, so this really makes no sense.
Why not compare to how much food you can produce on the same land with some sustainable cereal?
I bet you, there's no less than 30 times more food at a fraction of the emissions.
> That's very gracious of you, to allow this.
I am not vegan myself and I don't feel guilty eating meat at all, but I'm aware enough to limit the intake and spread this to my family which is the point I'm trying to make.
