New Zealand’s pasture based systems aren’t exactly the idealistic visions people have of them. Even just environmentally, their attempts to scale them up have required huge amounts of fertilizer and lead to huge amounts of pollution. For instance for their dairy production:
The large footprint for milk in Canterbury indicates just how far the capacity of the environment has been overshot. To maintain that level of production and have healthy water would require either 12 times more rainfall in the region or a 12-fold reduction in cows.

The “grass-fed” marketing line overlooks the huge amounts of fossil-fuel-derived fertiliser used to make the extra grass that supports New Zealand’s very high animal stock rates.

Damn, guess I’ll just keep eating 100% factory farmed then.
You can always stop eating meat
That is the next stage of the purity test, yes, but I have a sneaking suspicion that OP wouldn’t be satisfied with that either.
I was going to reply to your earlier comment, but I’m now seeing there is little interest in any good faith discussion

My comments, which are heavily sourced and cited, show that?
Yup. Very, very clearly, because you refuse to even entertain the idea that any form of eating meat can be an ethical choice.
All of your comments here are obviously propaganda, and so by their very nature are not intended to be in good faith.
