Yes, plant-based diet is good for the earth, climate change, ecosystems, bio-diversity, defense costs, national security, lifestyle opportunities, national/world medical costs, budget deficits and national debt, livelihoods, etc.
However, it is not a question of doing good for the earth by enduring an individual sacrifice of health. There is a fairly strong consensus in health and diet research that a more / mostly plant-based diet is far healthier than a carnivore/dairy diet. I am not really dabbling/ experimenting. I have been a vegetarian since I was 18. No anemia. My study of research/evidence-based nutrition, as a layman, throughout my life, continues to point towards the value of plant-based diets.
