Vegetarianism
The vegetarian myth is disproved.  It is often stated that meat produces one-fourth to one-tenth the food that using that same land for a vegetarian diet would produce.  That is not the whole picture.  Animals who transform one-fourth of their food into meat transform three-quarters of their food into manures (high value fertilizer) which is transformed into humus which is transformed into crops for both livestock and people.  Organic agriculture recycles everything and transforms inert minerals, air, water and sunshine into increased biota through feeding the microherd a full diet including animal wastes.  There is more life created into existence out of the dead planetary chemistry than vegetarians are able to account for with their tired false myth. [Lion Kuntz] 
 
Much of the land in many countries is suitable only for pasture which can be used only to produce meat.  Meat [lean and fat] provides nutrients that are difficult to get from other sources.
