It feels like speaking with a chatbot.

The focus of the discussion is topic is how dangerous is cattle farming to the planet. The answer is very, I gave you numbers, you're free to debunk them.

The topic of whether red meat is category 1 or 2 carcinogenic is less of an interest to this thread.

If you want to keep your diet, keep it, it doesn't change it has an insane impact on the planet in terms of greenhouse gases production and resource consumption. It kills the planet, whether you like it or not. It's unsustainable.

Beef can be raised carbon negative, it’s just more expensive. Maybe not scalable to 8 billion, I don’t know, but the man buying meat from a butcher buying from small farms raising grass fed cows is not the problem (it’s the corn that makes them fart, can’t digest as well)

You feel the same way buddy. We both have no ability to verify what we're saying and just choose who to listen to.

At least I eat healthy compared to you (easily verifiable when you have a health issue like epilepsy or diabetes).
