I think the footprint point is more along the lines of... farmers are grazing their cattle on public lands, which I hate, and destroying acres and acres of land. Foreign farmers destroy natural landscapes to make pasture land.
Commercial production of fish, rabbit and chickens put together wouldn't equal HALF of the land used for cattle (I would bet).
And I really didn't take the vegetarian argument into the overpopulation thing. I'd argue that meat production was more an issue about natural resources-not necessarily space.
I'm really enjoying talking to rational people about this issue instead of a bunch of ...why don't you just eat dirt and rocks if you're so concerned about life-people.
