Like Jinx said, look at the references on the pages linked: Worldwatch (left wing org, but I believe them), New York Times,
The USDA, and the list goes on. Still some books by vegans, but many other clearly non-biased sources.
No you won't find this info spelled out anywhere else, because people don't want to know it.
There is no profit motive for the vegans, but there is a huge one for the meat industry. The vegans have other motives, some of which may be misguided, but are mostly rational (IMO, but I am one one of them... well almost). Also, you have many common folk who simply make their living (not profit) off of animals, which makes it a very difficult issue. If there was a mass exodus from eating meat it would probably be most devastating for the grain farmers. But that won't happen, so I shouldn't worry.
