Topic	Amazon rainforest now emits more CO2 than it absorbs

The problem is we grow so much of it, and animal agriculture is the primary driving force of that. 73% of a soybean is the meal, which is human-edible and the most nutritious part of the bean, but 97% of that meal is fed to pigs, chickens, and farmed fish. Another 6% of the bean is the hull which is almost exclusively fed to cows. Yeah huge parts of our farming product is done to support the meat industry. Less meat eaten = less need for lots of cows/pigs = less need for entire fields dedicated to feeding cows/pigs. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:956106245] in Amazon rai...
