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

Brazil is also cutting down the Amazon for stupid beef.

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.
