Not really.
You'd have to raze thousands upon thousands of acres of land to feed this nation alone based on a vegetarian diet. To put it in something that would make sense, to feed the world on a vegetarian staple we'd have to destroy the entire rain forest to produce enough legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables to feed everyone meagerly.
Aside from the sheer amount of natural landscape being destroyed (which would put several plants and animals into extinction) you have to add in the "commercial" aspect of regulating massive vegetable farms. I'm talking billions of dollars thrown into genetic engineering, pesticides, forced reproduction etc. and if the amount of grain being produced doesn't kill an ecosystem the chemicals and "insect-resilient" plants will.
