I appreciate the nuance in your response.
Like you said the key point here is scale. I can point to almond, or palm oil, and there is no difference in the destruction, deforestation, mis-use of resources you mention in regard to industrial animal agriculture. It is industrial agriculture period, whether animal or plant based. To insert animal when convenient is not helpful, it will distort the truth. We need to be very clear in the words we use.
Regenerative agriculture with grazing animals, is the only way we will restore soil quality and health. The value of this to future humans and diverse grassland ecosystems is immeasurable in a way. So to even look at metrics of resource use when it comes to regenerative agriculture is not sufficient.
We are playing a long game. Same with nutrients and what they mean for humans, and our output here on earth with the time we have given. Of course it’s anecdotal, but I personally have not met anyone who is vegan, who I could confidently say they are extremely healthy and “thriving” in life. 🤷🏻♂️
