Depends on how they are enriching those grains...the problem (if there is one, which there probably isnt) as it has been presented to me would be at this step where the animals are fed high calorie feed...to my understanding this feed is often grown with nitrogen enriched fertilizers...the process of making those fertilizers directly uses natural gas and/or petrol...though again this i think supports your core theme of being a critique of industrialization rather than meat...
