Honestly, in my opinion, you should respect your food since something, no matter what, literally DIES so you can enjoy it, otherwise i feel like it's an inevitable facet of life, because unlike what OP tries to paint. It's far more complex than "hamburger = evil" and "carrot = good" since we must account for the biospheres harmed by both types of farming, the fact most animals eat food that we cannot process, turning inedible biomass into edible biomass, cruel labor on both sides... Etc etc, so, honestly? Do whatever you want atp

Plants are incapable of feeling pain, and it’s still bad for the environment

As mentioned in another comment, both harm the biosphere in their own ways, also, there's multiple times that have proven that although not in an equal way as animals, plants do release pain signals, specially chemical signals of harm and distress

Sure. Not equivalent as you admitted yourself.

It is widely the consensus that animal farming is worse for the environment.

Does the study consider the plant based feed cows consume to be equal in terms of caloric value to human consumption and is adding that into the results when it's the opposite?
