Which seems to agree with my 'assumption' that 'meat has a higher calorific content', so your blanket statement of 'Your assumptions are wrong on every account:' is incorrect. IMO.

Sorry but I'm not. Yes meat is more concentrated kcal-wise but that doesn't really mean anything in itself. The amount of land mass needed to produce the meat is actually larger than to produce the equivalent vegetable-kcal (chickens and cows have to eat too). It takes more water etc. etc.
It's all in the link.
