Are they? The study left out fish, so I didn’t see that conclusion in there. Also, the title is pretty much the conclusion of the study: eating vegetarian has a greater environmental impact than eating local.
So why are they generalizing their claims when they have left out whole category of foods? And they consider dairy as not vegetarian that’s not accurate either.

The title is not misleading. Local meat, fish & dairy are worse all around than far-away vegetarian foods.
This is not an argument for or against being vegetarian, just a more or less indisputable measurement of food production.
