It's doing things like buying steak from NY when you live in California or overseas that is a problem really. The shipping and trucking burns the fuel, and if it's air shipped.. forget it! A ten hour flight burns about 36,000 gallons of jet fuel.

The Problem is also that 1000 Kalories from Meat require ~4 times as much Water and produce more Greenhouse Gases that 1000 Kalories from i.e. Wheat.
And we not only have a climate change problem, we also have a problem with diminishing water resources
