That amp link doesn't work for me.

But the article doesn't really support the argument. Complaining that many soy farms are currently using bad practices doesn't make soy inherently unsustainable. Neither does an argument that cow farming preserves certain grasslands. And even if CO2 is a "limited" metric it's one that's pretty relevant to sustainability.

So I'm open to being convinced, but this article ain't it.

Who are you to make such a demand? Talk to politically aware vegetarians and they'll tell you it is common knowledge among that population.
Okay come on. I believe you saw something credible at some point, but to post "it's common knowledge" two minutes after saying you can't find a source is a really weak argument and doesn't justify "who are you".
Back when the Impossible Burger first came out, there was quite a bit of interest in vegetarian circles. That interest turned sour very quickly as the sustainability of their process was investigated. This was about 2 years ago? Today the vegetarians I know have entirely moved on and the idea of plant based meats is just yet another meat culture noise to be ignored.
