If you must eat meat, try to eat as local as possible. There are huge differences how animals get treated within EU alone..

It's currently a lot less, because they have a decent government that doesn't allow it, but I suppose they'll elect another Bolsorano soon enough.

This government is a lot better, but make no mistake, it's still a government. He still destroyed pristine forest to build a huge highway in Belém for the COP, of all things.

This was a major concern with the agreement and it did not take lng. They should get 12month ban.
