You're still drawing examples from the unsustainable* factory farming model. Consider instead one where most of those 'meat calories' are spending most of their lives out being part of the ecosystem, until they are hunted or herded. Now we know that this is sustainable, since it's the way the world has been operating for many millions of years.


*At least we don't know that it is, or could possibly be made to be, sustainable, and on current evidence have pretty good reason to think that it's probably not.
