if you buy less meat, the meat industry actually becomes smaller over time.

That’s the opposite of what you were accusing corporations of doing.
this is how blocking should work. if you are publishing something to the public, there is no reason to expect others can’t see it comment on it
Edward Bernays
some years later, once corporations had more solid control of legislatures and were no longer afraid of legislation, they started using the carbon footprint idea in reverse as propaganda - they claimed individual responsibility was a myth, only legal action against corporations will help with climate change, so eat whatever you want and buy all the gas you want and buy all the corporate products you want, and don’t feel guilty about it, because it doesn’t matter.

Are you …defending deforestation of the Amazon?
no. I’m pointing out a lie about Amazon soy being fed to cows
it would be if it caused the industry to pollute less or even just stop growing. it doesn’t.
almost all soy that becomes animal feed is a byproduct of pressing soybeans for oil. about 80% of all soybeans are pressed for oil and the byproduct is what is fed to animals. but cattle, as you can see in the chart I provided, hardly get any of the global soy crop
why is your “update” over a decade old? how often are they released?
ignoring corruption is gross. trying to distract from it with a whataboutism Is some degree worse
hardly any soy goes to cows at all.

we are not friends
we can agree on some things!
yea. it seems like you are holding two contradictory ideas at once. I hope you can resolve that
your local decline can be explained by any number of factors, and there is not enough evidence to conclude it is due to you or your whole town reducing meat consumption.
