I'd compare the resources and environmental impact with my current diet - veggie and try-to-be local; I don't eat e.g. tofu due to the impact of its production. If it was a *lot* better I'd consider artificial meat, but I also really hate the taste of most meat (as far as I recall at more than 20 years' remove).
I don't know about tofu production processes but growing soy is currently a leading cause of deforestation and natural habitat destruction in S America and there is evidence that it trashes soil quality by mining nutrients out of it too.
We've made tofu at home a couple of times: basically, you soak soybeans, blend them with water, bring it to the boil, simmer it for half an hour, add a coagulant (we used lemon juice), sift out the solid bits and then press them together. It's tedious work that we're glad to outsource.

I've been veggie for just over two years, and still crave meat pretty much every day. Mmmmm, delicious protein-rich animal flesh.
