        Would you care to back that up with a study comparing farms and farm practices? Like you’re telling me how cows are raised is completely independent of the CO2 process. There’s no difference between. Farm A: Natural farm, no fertilizer inputs, no feed inputs, rotating pastures, butchered on site, sold to a local market. Farm B. A start up funded by the Brazilian government, gifted 100 acres of rainforest, burned it down and added grass seed and fertilizer. Purchased corn from a different South American country to finish the product. Had the beef shipped across the country for slaughter, had the beef shipped across the world for sale.

        Yes certainly no difference here. Both of these farms are the same in terms of emissions…
