There are more vegans than farmers

I'm a vegitarian and I sympathise.  Vegitarian food is often available but the quality is sometiomes very poor.  Why cannot the general population understand that the individual will be healthier and green house gas production reduced significantly if meat eating ceased.

If we were all vegetarian (or preferably vegan) we would not need the animals currently "grown",as you put it, for food.  Farmers would simply cease to breed them.  Recent research says tha tlivestock farming is responsible for more than  50% of greenhouse gasses. It is also extremely wasteful of water and a poor use of vegetable crops. It takes approx 10kilo of grain to produce just 1 kilo of meat. 

In a world without farmed animals, the landscape would return to nature - better for wildlife, better for all of us.
