Clearing land for soy and cattle exports is also the main reason the Amazon and the Pantanal are burning. Two of the most unique and biodiverse biomes on Earth are being reduced to ash and still people go hungry.

The world we made is too inefficient.

The amount of wasted farmland opportunity just so we can all get cardiovascular disease early by eating burgers and steaks every single night instead of a more varied plant prominent diet is depressing. No one deserves to go hungry, and feeding all the cows we raise crap we don’t even eat sure doesn’t help the situation. That’s not even getting into the other issues of methane, pollution, and issues regarding ethics of slaughter. Put the effort we throw at growing food for cows into growing food for people.
