"Eating a vegan diet massively reduces the damage to the environment caused by food production, the most comprehensive analysis to date has concluded.

The research showed that vegan diets resulted in 75% less climate-heating emissions, water pollution and land use than diets in which more than 100g of meat a day was eaten. Vegan diets also cut the destruction of wildlife by 66% and water use by 54%, the study found."

this seems to be an intentional misrepresentation of the peer reviewed study. we have never seen a 75% reduction in climate heating emissions, water pollution or land use.
