About your third point: raising animals on pastures is not necessarily worse regards climate compared to growing vegetables on fields. It may well be the other way around. For example: the humus layer is much deeper with grass, hence storing more CO2.

About your second point, you name it as "fact" that too much red meat is problematic. Scientists are not so sure if it is about the meat or about some side-effect, like e.g., a virus transmitted along with (rare/raw, or even higher heated) meat in Western societies.

Thermodynamics by itself would already question this assertion, no?

maybe. there is an emerging body of evidence showing that different grazing methods influence carbon sequestration rates. https://pastureproject.org/about-us/regenerative-grazing-ben... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/15/...

Too much red meat is tautologically problematic, because too much of anything (including water) is problematic :). I'm not a dietician so I don't have opinion on this, but I was thinking mostly of a common western diet full of highly-processed, highly fat and overly salty meats.
