“Eat less meat people! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have conferences all over the world this week, and I have to get to my private jet…”

Whataboutism doesn’t super duper help with the problem of meat.

Like just looking at land usage, 80% of agricultural land is used for live stock or growing food for live stock. While only 20% calories come from live stock.

It’s just so inefficient use of water and land. Even if every billionaire vanished, we will run out of clean water and good land if population grows and meat consumption doesn’t.
