PrintWhich Diet Is Most Environmentally Friendly?
Slate magazine compares the environmental effects of vegetarianism and omnivorism. Eating some meat may make better use of environmental resources than eschewing meat all together, but overall people are eating more meat than what nature can efficiently supply.

Actually, the article discusses a study that looks at veganism versus vegetarianism versus some meat consumption; the "quick bite" here is misleading.
The study doesn't say anything we shouldn't already know - that every inch of soil is not capable of supporting all forms of vegetation, so it can be more stressful for the land to grow vegetables in lieu of using that land for cattle grazing.
Quick bites shouldn't be equated with sound bites, which are too often misleading and used to justify certain behavior.
