I second this 100%.
Society overall is in a level of denial towards the very negative impact of cattle farming on the planet like it was in the 50s towards tobacco.
People will bitch about a cigarette being smoked 10 meters from them, but will shove sausages and stakes down their throats every other day pretending it doesn't have a gigantic cost in terms of earth's resources or the many studies pointing about how unhealthy it is.
Mind you, I don't advocate for people to cut off meat entirely, I myself have no intention to do so, but if we globally halved this crazy meat culture the impact on the planet would be huge.
We eat unhealthy and we're killing the planet while pretending to be green with Tesla SUVs. We're doomed to keep making this planet worse.
