Fasting is as good, it seems.

One thing that I'm skeptic on these articles is the numbers on how plants are grown is not clear. You don't have division between corn or soy vs hydroponic. Is quite concerning that the affirmation of changing diets and consumer behavior will be the only thing.

There is impact on growing plants with lack of healthier pollination, or simply not destroying the ground to avoid a huge amount of CO2 to the air, or even further assuming there is a zero impact of fertilizer on Greenhouse gases in general.

I think the general idea is that instead of grow plants > Feed animals > feed People. It should be grow plants > Feed People.

It doesn't make modern agricultural practices any better but does reduce their scale dramatically.
