I agree. Often these calculations are too complicated to achieve, so they fiddle stuuf and leave out the factors that destroy the narrative.
So, for example, the idea that:
catlle has an enormous carbon-footprint. Therefore steak is killing us.
They ignore how grass-land works. They ignore the feritlize-and-trample part of the carbon cycle. They even claim that nitrogen is toxic. They claim that the water-resource is somehow threatened, as well, because the animals drink it (!). Which is completely ridiculous, as the pasture retains water. The animals piss, as well. If here was no catlle, it would desertify. THEN, you'ld have a water issue.
Understocking causes desertification. Desertification leads to famine.
Exactly the dry-stock (non-dairy) beef is put out on land that would be a pain to put a tractor on. Goats and sheep even more so, in terms of hilly country.
Net zero is an impossible pipe dream. The composting of millions of tons of garbage releases CO2 by the tons.

My favorite plant-based food is meat.
There is LOTS of land that can be grazed for meat which is NOT suitable for growing crops. Fertile crop land is relatively a small part of the earth.

Where I'm at the land owners are leasing it for solar panels. Ruining the land all around me. Over 13k acres in my county alone.
