I agree, that is the major reason I try to choose plant based options. I was just thrown by @Hirom saying about chicken being better for the environment, I'm assume they meant it's better than beef (which it is) but not as good as the plant-based versions.

Exactly, I meant chicken has less impact on the environment than beef. And chicken burger as an alternative to beef burger.
