by shifting the split to 40, 50, and 10 percent, we could (thanks to grain feed saved by reducing inefficient beef production) produce easily 30 percent more chicken meat and 20 percent more pork, while more than halving beef’s environmental burden—and still supplying at least 10 percent more meat.
