In case anyone takes that seriously: farmed animals mostly eat industrial agricultural food. And they need 10 kilo of food for every kilo of meat. So you're basically killing ten times as many farmland animals when eating meat compared to earing plants directly.
Lower intensity agriculture is possible, but just not as consistent or price effective. You could, for example, raise pigs or chickens mostly on food scraps and have meat that requires little extra inputs, but maybe not if you need to raise thousands of them.
Yes, possible in theory. Quite hard to find in practice
