Right!! Most of the damage we are causing and most of the reasons why mother earth is getting more and more sick (of us human beings) is because Western industry and especially meat industry really has such a giant and terribly bad impact on nature.
The biggest part of the plants and crops we have is for feeding the animals in meat industry, and not humanity. Especially those who suffer from not having enough food.
But it's not about humanity anymore, it's about profit, as you said. Very sad...
But I am happy there are more and more alternative projects rising! :)
Like community supported agriculture which I join this month <3
