His points don't make much sense at all. And try eating a diet of only meat and see what happens.

1) That's his personal view.
2) Is correct, you need to eat a lof of plants to make up for eating a single cow.
3) This is also correct.

What are you talking about?

A cow which you had to feed with much more plants than you would have needed if you ate them directly...

But you seem to be missing the fact that a cow is going to eat plants whether you knock its head with a brick or not.

There is more than 100 cows in an average farm and it can be up to 1000 in the biggest ones, this quantity would not be sustainable in the wild. Also, they would eat grass that would be there anyway, not soy and corn that we farm for them, and which would give us more energy if we ate them directly rather than converting them in to meat.

I might go meatless in the future.
Making the commitment is difficult and I'm not ready.

Factory farming would be quite less of a problem if people would simply reduce their meat consumption - no need to be totally vegetarian
