Summary
Half of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture, with most of this used to raise livestock for dairy and meat. Livestock are fed from two sources – lands on which the animals graze and land on which feeding crops, such as soy and cereals, are grown. How much would our agricultural land use decline if the world adopted a plant-based diet?
Research suggests that if everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to grow crops. The research also shows that cutting out beef and dairy (by substituting chicken, eggs, fish or plant-based food) has a much larger impact than eliminating chicken or fish.

It seems to me the main point of the article is to cut out beef, mutton, and dairy. The difference between that and vegan is relatively small, according to the second chart in the article.
Also, where are all these sanctimonious shitbag vegans you speak of? I’ve known many vegans, and not a single one has acted that way. Maybe you’ve just met sanctimonious shitbag people, and their being vegan is irrelevant?
A triggered carnist appears. Go touch some grass kid.

Vegetarians arguably cause more suffering and death than carnists, so good going
Go take a hike!

Mm, the stolen pus-juice from the raped mothers of murdered children.
Imagine going to a niche subreddit, calling everyone in it a shitbag, and then using anything remotely hostile thrown back at you as evidence that you’re right.
Let us live in peace, you’re free to keep paying for tortured animal carcasses (and thank God, imagine how cruel a world it would be where animal abuse/killing was outlawed /s) and we’re free to eat plants.
I don’t go to meat eater communities and call out everyone there for paying into systems that abuse and torture sentient creatures, even though I would be just stating facts about what people are doing, not calling them names like you are.
