Soy is a much better source of protein as far as the environment is concerned, though. And the quality of that protein is pretty competitive with that of animal protein. Not to mention that the reduced fat content would avoid the unwanted weight gain that would spoil your looks (especially for those going for the "celebrity skinny" look) and reduce gas mileage. (Yes, I'm serious about the part about reducing gas mileage. Extra weight needs more energy to accelerate.)
