Not only that, but we're talking about a country with some of the highest per-capita beef consumption in the world. Beef has an order of magnitude higher impact on emissions as other meats. It's so fucking inefficient it's insane.
I think it's much easier to shift people to more efficient meats than it is to cut meat out entirely.
