That Slate article about how the study is so wrong is almost entirely taking issue with the reporting. The study itself, and the quote from the advisor for the PhD who wrote it, seems to have a slight “meat eater” bias, but the actual study doesn’t say anything about vegetarianism being bad for the environment or meat eating being good.
One could in fact make a good case for the Slate article being ridiculously wrong.
