You left out (4), it takes significantly more resources to raise livestock for food. I forget the statistic, but the grain used to produce one single meal of hamburger could produce X number of grain-based meals. IOW, you can feed a lot more people if you use the available resources to produce food for a vegetarian diet. (I'm not a vegetarian, but I try to stick to chicken and fish; they take less resources to raise.)
