  Sorta. Maybe best to ignore advertising quotas.

  Producing beef outputs a lot more greenhouse gases than pork, and chicken is less than either one. Fruit and vegetables are less than any of them.

  None of these are better than the others for how they treat the animals. Unnecessary brutality all around. It would not cost that much to treat them with some level of ethics, and if that small cost reduces how much meat people eat, that’s probably a good thing.

  Pork is famously ‘the other white meat’ according to an old advertising campaign.
