102. I agree about eating pasture fed beef.
However, the article clearly states that the MAJORITY of the greenhouse gases in their calculations are from digestive methane, not the transportation of feed and meat.

Take that major component out, and eating meat is much less impactful. If someone thinks they are being "green" by being vegan, then the danger is they'll drive more or use their Air Conditioning (which are MUCH more impactful).
