logic thinking

Each kg meat produces 13kg of carbon. Dutch average person eats about 81kg per year. All Dutch people eat 1.400 million kg meat per year!

1.860.000.000.000 kg carbon/methaan produced while growing & processing a cow

To feed those millions of cattle, we chop down the Amazone, burn down savannah's, to grow all that crop. Tell me you never ate a burgers at a fastfood chain.

We chop down the solution to feed the cause. Ironic.

To produce 1kg of meat, we need 25kg of plantbased food, which requires up about 10m2 land and 160 liters of water to grow. Can anyone calculate how much acres of crop is needed to grow 1 average weighing cow of 850kg?

It's more cost efficient to eat those crops ourselves.
