Maybe in some narrow cases but I’d take issue with your use of ‘mostly’. Here’s an article about a study that looked at the environmental damage of different diets and a vegan diet is significantly, significantly better for the environment - and that’s not even considering animal welfare.
a vegan diet isn’t any better for the environment at all. producing the parts of a vegan diet INSTEAD of the parts of some other diet WOULD be better but that’s not what happens: the omnivorous products continue to be made in growing amounts while vegan products are ALSO increased.
that study depends on a number of other studies with dubious methodology. i wouldn’t trust that study just based on the studies on which i know it relies.
