Just like anyone eating dairy or meat these days. In 99% of cases it means vast swathes of land are needed to produce that food for humans. Double even, as we first grow crops for animals, then use more land for the animals themselves. Plus they also require water and they make a mess.
But anyway, veganism isn't quite natural and very likely not smart for most people. Most humans need some animal food but it's good to reduce our footprint. So what's the solution then? Animal foods that require less land and limit impact on ecosystems. Globally we really ought to drastically reduce the number of cows, pigs and sheep.
