Your reasoning relies entirely on the ability to quantify environmental damage, but it's not clear how you would quantify this. To me it appears completely arbitrary how you decide "this damage is 2.5x worse than the other damage"

So your argument is you can't compare levels of environmental damage. OK then by that argument there is no way to compare the environmental damage of $4 worth of bratwurst vs $10 worth of quinoa. So I may as well eat what tastes better and is healthier and eat the brat.
