    Large scale production of meat is not environmentally friendly. Animals produce lots of methane which is damaging to the ozone layer. The grains used to feed these animals are much more environmentally friendly, however.

A diet heavy in vegetables and grains instead of meat has been linked to fewer medical complications and a longer lifespan.
