Is being vegetarian better for the environment?

You can't read a newspaper, magazine, or watch TV these days without hearing something about the environment. This green/eco push has been mostly centered on things you can do around the house that have to do with conserving, reducing, and reusing resources, but what about changing up how you do things altogether? Some groups are saying that we're all missing one of the biggest threats to the Earth, which is all the factory farming of animals for our dinner plates. They say that by reducing or eliminating meat from our diets we could drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What do you think? I'm thinking it makes sense, and I have to say feedlots and other large animal operations have never sat that well (and they hardly seem natural) with me anyway. Going vegetarian is a big step that few are ready to (or willing to) take, but maybe taking baby steps and just cutting back a little on meat is reasonable? Or do you think this is just a bunch of hooey?
