The disproportionate impact that beef has is amazing. We heavily subsidize the beef industry in the US and buy beef directly from the Amazon rainforest. The massive external costs are completely neglected.

I said similar wherever this was what posted earlier, but yeah, even if you replace beef with poultry there's a considerable difference.
These types of stories partially led to us switching seat from beef. I'll still get it at restaurants, but almost never buy beef (or pork) for groceries. Small steps!

Dude I see you everywhere. I did hear about a company setting up a lab grown meat factory recently though. Hopefully will help the problem.
