The least harm principle is flawed because if one were to choose to eat meat in order to decrease plant consumption and hence decrease harvesting acreage (i.e. meaning less field animals or forest displaced animals from dying), one would then have to increase meat consumption and production.
It takes more acreage of land to harvest for food(grain etc...) to raise animals with for a few number of people to benefit from that meat than if that plant food were to go directly to the cosumers. Value added along the lines of production causes less efficiency and therefore more energy input to create. Therefore, more land is required to raise beef and therefore more animals are killed in the fields.
