That's almost the size of Sweden. We really should get used to eating less meat. The worst part is it has to be a global change since most of the meat is exported and that's where they get the most profit.
Less meat isn't gonna cut it, that industry will still be there and will find ways do more harm to increase profitability. We need to stop meat and dairy altogether.
This is the only way we can repurpose all the farmland wasted for animal agriculture.
Do you share the opinion that if everyone does better vs some of us being “perfect” we can have more meaningful change?
