‘…environmental statistics about meat production are often misunderstood. Take global warming. Because the greatest portion of meat’s global warming contribution comes from deforestation in Latin America, India, and Asia, domestically-produced meat is unconnected to those emissions. Additionally, livestock raised without being fed fertilized crops are unrelated to another large part of the global warming equation: fossil fuel-based agricultural chemicals.’
