Where do you think most of the world's red meat is coming from? Brazil is one of the top producers and exporters of red meat, deforestation is ravaging the Amazon.
3rd world countries are not eating red meat, we are. The link between rich countries and meat consumption has been established for a long time now.

Most cattle eat soy, not grass, that's also a myth. Simply because soy is a whole lot cheaper, and a lot more abundant and easier to grow than grass. Also, grass is only slightly better than feed, but it generates more GEG overall because of digestion.

We need soy, so we need monocultures of soy, and that's catastrophic, just like you said.

Transport is actually not that big of a problem with red meat. Land usage and the actual cattle are. They're the top source of GEG emissions from agriculture.

You were talking about thermodynamics earlier. Red meat is incredibly inefficient converting resources to usable calories. 1kg of beef requires 25kg of feed.

You're also using a lot of straw men in your arguments, living in a grass hut instead of a concrete building, or electric vehicles for cattle transportation?

You can enjoy red meat but you can't argue in good faith that it's not completely awful for the environment at pretty much every level.

A few sources to support my claims:

The problem is not just the farts, the problem is the absolutely humongous amount of feed and space cattle needs. Most crops grown around the world are used to feed cattle, just like most farmland is used to grow cattle. That's what's polluting, producing so much green house gases, deforesting, etc.

No matter how you turn it, red meat is an environmental catastrophe.

They don't really need to bring it back, it's always been there, just in other countries

There's very little chance it ends otherwise to be fair. Talking and negotiation didn't work, peaceful protest didn't work.

Don't worry, they'll figure it out later

History taught us that corpos would literally burn the world for a few more bucks. And by history, I mean right now.

You can sprinkle caviar on a shit sandwich, it's still a shit sandwich

It's just that eternity is a long time, especially towards the end

That was not surrendering, that was actively participating
