    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. If we consumed these grains instead of using vast amounts of them to feed livestock, the world and the people on it would be healthier. A diet heavy in vegetables and grains instead of meat has been linked to fewer medical complications and a longer lifespan.
