Vegans claim their diet is more environmentally friendly. Others suggest eating animal products less often rather than giving them up. What’s your view?

Quotes from the article:
“It is estimated that a varied vegan diet uses less than one third of the land needed for a typical diet.

“Intensive factory farming, dairy farming and the use of land to rear meat and graze animals has been found to have an adverse impact on the environment which is why some people choose to opt out of eating animal produce altogether.

“Vegans estimate sustaining their diet requires less farmland, leaving more for the natural environment.”
