The overall result isn't surprising, but the methane stats are particularly impressive: vegans are in an entirely different postal code compared to everyone else.

vegetarians eat less dairy overall but more cheese than meat eaters
not beating the allegations
Also, the high meat category is 100+ grams (around uk average) and the average USian meat consumption is close to 350g/d, so US vegans might be single digits percentages of their meat eating counterparts if a similar methodology was applied
I'm kind of surprised how small the difference is w.r.t. carbon emissions, but I saw that they're counting land use differently and I guess not accounting for the increased carbon emissions from requiring much more forest land to be burned down and turned into pasture to support meat diets?
I would suggest that eating meat !== burning down forest land. That's a policy and regulation issue that could be corrected or severely reduced. It's the policy makers, paid out by industry lobbies, who allow for such absurdity
Where do you think pasture land comes from
From the cheapest lots available. Prices are dictated or influenced by legislation. If we can pay farmers to NOT grow corn, we can pay farmers to use specific kinds of lands, revitalize dying landscapes, and support natural ecosystems.
I guess you're going to do your part to stop supporting those industries?
