18 wheeler-driving vegan vs meat eater
In terms of greenhouse gas emissions in CO2 equivalent, animal agriculture still beats the entire transportation sector.
The average 18 wheeler gets around 5.5 miles per gallon, while the average new commuting vehicle gets 25.5. Seems like a big difference until you realize that commuting vehicles make up somewhere around half of emissions (about 55%).
So eating meat vs not is roughly equivalent to deliberately cutting your car's fuel economy down to 1/3, or 8.5 miles per gallon. Not a far cry from an 18 wheeler, and some can get 8 mpg or better (depends on the vehicle and its load and road conditions). Sources listed below under "references".
