Green Piece (of...)

AITOOW wonders why people think eating plant based foods will not impact the world? Don't we have to clear cut land to make room for those fields? Do cow pastures require that much more land? And they don't require us to add chemicals to the soil or till the soil. And why is it important to get the Chinese to buy soybeans if these products have sold out and are an emerging market? Isn't the market already here in the US? This all seems like the electric car movement that didn't factor in increased coal usage or dirty batteries.
