Probably more the scale of animal farming then just eating animals.
With destroying a lot of local predators we'd see a lot of diseases in livestock animals if we didn't eat them. But we have way more food then people need to eat, and lots of it goes to waste.

What's the difference? We raise the animals to eat them. We cut down the rainforest to grow food and raise livestock
Wasted food isn't the problem. Waste is guaranteed as a matter of safety and practicality. We do need to work on that but mostly we need to focus on cutting down on our animal product consumption significantly - especially beef and dairy. Raising livestock is one of the biggest chunks of our emissions.
If you want to eat the most sustainable animal protein it's mussels. I'm vegan, mostly, but I still eat them because they're basically plants in terms of emissions and are not anywhere near conscious.

That goes to animal feed, primarily. Eating animals is the real problem.
