Are we convinced growing these crops are good for the environment?

Not to mention how terrible plant-based “meats” are for your health.

They don't have to be good, just less bad than producing meat. It is almost impossible to create any food that has a larger impact than beef [1].

I’m actually pretty sure anything we do too much is bad somehow.

The question is more around the « too much » than around what we do.

What do you think the meat machines / cows are fed with? Even more of the same crops but with a high percentage of loss of calories since they only transform a small part of it into edible meat

Calories aren't the only metric by which to measure food.
