I’ve been wondering about the environmental impact of a vegan diet, especially one that made use of many of the highly processed vegan foods commonly available these days.  I was interested in how such a diet would compare to a meat/normal diet.

So, a bit of googling and here’s what I found - and the results were very interesting to me.

This graph gives you the info in a nutshell, but the article that I pulled it from is well worth the read.  I knew that a vegan diet was much better, but had no idea how much better.  Also of note is that this article puts the comparison in terms that are actually pretty mind friendly and not so abstract.
