The text of this article is about how mass farming of meat is bad for the 
environment, not that eating meat is bad for the environment. If eating 
meat alone was bad for the environment, then eradicating all carnivores 
would solve our global warming problem, no?

To change the topic slightly, your article reminded me of a very 
interesting essay by Jared Diamond (the "Guns, Germs, and Steel" guy) 
claiming that farming was the worst mistake humanity ever made:
