See How Beef Is Destroying The Amazon
ฝัง

- It’s true, the Amazon rainforest is being destroyed by our global appetite for beef. In Brazil, beef production is actually ramping up under new president, Jair Bolsonaro, and the clearing of land for more cattle pasture was one of the key drivers of the Amazon fires. In its debut episode, AJ+‘s new environmental show, “Goodbye Earth,” goes deep into the heart of a Brazilian industry that’s responsible for over two-thirds of Amazon deforestation.

Thanks so much for watching our debut episode of GoodBye Earth, AJ+‘s new climate and environment series!!! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the piece. Does this make you think twice about eating beef?
Yes it does change the way I look at beef. What is left for me to eat?
Fruits and vegetables are genetically modified for some unknown reason, animals are fattened and treated cruelly just to get more out of the meat. Keep exposing the truth.
BS Vegan Crap To Push The VeganTards Agenda... Yes Taking Up More Land For Fruits And Vegetables Is The Answer.. Very Logical... Not
Veganism Is A Activism Not A Diet
Veganism Is Part Of The New World Order Depopulation Agenda

No. I will continue to embrace carnivory and move away from grains, starches, and carbs and toward an all-meat diet. I've seen the health results for myself. Veganism is not for everyone--if you have food allergies, you're probably not allergic to meat.
@@pauledmondson5654 Hey Paul. I totally hear ya. It's so overwhelming navigating the world of food. I like to start local, so I can at least ask direct questions from the producers. Thanks for taking the time!
Yes. I am 55-years-old and although brought up in a family who ate beef, I never have been a beef eater. I on rare occasion do, yet I am now more aware the impact beef has due to my return to college and studies in sustainablity. Beef is a secondary food, as more crops are grown to feed industrialized cattle than to feed humans. As well, it requires a lot of water for just one hamburger (learned this in a geography course about water). With water scarcities, we need to move from foods that require large amounts of water as well. I never ate hamburgers before (most because of my propensity to be obese) but I am very conscious about beef. A big objection I also have about eating beef is the inhumane ways that cattle are treated in industrialize cattle ranching. No living being should be treating inhumanly.
Greed is the problem
No, lies is the problem.

No talk about how many Brazilians are getting out of poverty because of beef export.
The true is that Brazilian production of meat upsets the concurrency.

been vegan for 3 years. best decision of my life yet and happened to be the largest impact a single person can do for the environment. anyone need help regarding the subject?
So it's better because u still need land to grow crops and chemicals to keep them healthy..
Vincent Pinto you’re tripping. Use pubmed.gov next time.
Properly managed silver pasture farming systems provide far, far more benefit to our environment than switching to an unsustainable vegan lifestyle of highly processed food produced by big AG mono crop farms. If you're producing all your own food in an organic garden that would be a different story but who does that?
The problem is the consumption behaviour. We came to the point that we only care about making more money.

Very Nice!!! Farm here forest there. Do you think we are stupid? USA destroyed them forest and now want to protect Amazon. Start to plant your own forest. Of course we need to emprove yield and protect the population with more jobs. We have the technology do have both, environment and food.
Cattle from all over the globe are fed with brazialian soy. It is not just a question of where the meat comes but the whole industry
Feeding them soy is so dumb to cows aren't meant to eat soy and corn they're supposed to eat grass it's literally how their teeth have evolved. But letting them actually eat with their supposed to eat and not shoveling cheap and I'm assuming super fast growing corn and soy otherwise why keep doing it down their throats somehow makes beef cheaper but grass-fed beef what they're supposed to eat anyway if somehow way more expensive.
Most of the plant foods that those on plant-based diets eat come from highly destructive industrial agriculture. Most of the rainforest isn't destroyed for cattle or soy but for palm oil.

The Amazon looks dry and desert like🤭
It's horrible to see the lack of accountability and acknowledgement of climate change taken by the ranchers and those who work for the slaughterhouses. In 2017, JBS (largest meat producer) were found to have bought 59,000 cattle from illegally deforested land AND had spent over $185M bribing politicians. The $3.2 B fine was a big hit to their MV. While many changes need to happen like change in consumer habits/increased regulation, I also hope investors start to see the risks associated with these unregulated industries and can hold companies accountable / divest.
It's almost as if(shocking) most ranchers don't work anywhere near the Amazon... It's not like I cut down the forests

First of all who permitted the mass deforestation? Wasnt it the country's elected Govt? These poor animals arent the cause of the crisis. The main root was the Govt's miscalculation and the businesses' greed.
Next time you are at the market ,look at a can (the square one ) of corned beef ,read the small print it will say (Inspected by Brazilian Government) They were from Argentina before.....
Cool
I am not and will not be wegan, but have droped beef meat from my menu and the amount of other meat halved.
Kudos to you. I haven’t completely removed beef from my diet, but I reduced my consumption of it. I went from an average of four times a week to once a month.
I stop eating beef. now i only eat fish, chicken and pig
Yum
Wow that's crazy
Honestly we should put restrictions on Brazil beef, we can get our beef from our own farmers, let’s help the Amazon and our own farming communities
Ofcourse farm here florets over there😒
help kkkkkkkkkk
So you would restrict peoples right to nutrient dense food.
Is it not possible to stop eating meats

Why does south america have cattle with straight hair and north america cattle with curly hair.?!
These cattle are some of the most valuable cattle in the world stolen right out of Africa during the raids of African kingdoms across the Contenant.

Why so many dislikes? This was a really informative video...
@GamingTV How can you say it has "nothing" to do with it. Maybe it's a combination of all three.
@1234coolman How so?
@1234coolman Are you saying that indigenous people are not being robbed of their land? Or that they don't have any right to claim territory? I don't see how this is fake information. Are there any sources you could name that say otherwise?
@GamingTV Brazil is one of the top beef exporting countries. To say that "it does not have that much beef" is an understatement. Where did you get your information about the forest fire?
@GamingTV Clearly, the rain forest is being cut down for these farms. How is that not killing the environment? And what is so bad about not eating beef anyways?
Just for curiosity. Who is paying your salary?
I wish consumer choices could fix this. Market forces will send production to the cheapest location. Government regulations and regular investigations are the only ways to change the market. Increasing the consumer cost is one way to create better production processes. Planting trees as part of the cost of production can only be ensured by regulations and enforcement efforts.
Soil science has apparently been forgotten by humanity, why can't they utilize manure and compost?
Now I'm just hungry for a good steak.
The saddest part is that here in Brazil (a poor country, with millions of people that are poorly educated) a considerable part of the population is buying Bolsonaro’s bizarre speech, not only about Amazon and climate change, but also about other important matters. He claims that Brazil should do to its lands what it wants to since developed countries put their forests down in the past so they could thrive. Including the pretext of national sovereignty in his speech and putting environmentalists as enemies of Brazil’s prosperity, he still has a big support in the country....
Thanks for commenting, Miguel. It's important to hear the Brazilian POV loud and clear.
Do u support Lula?
Technically, he's right. Developed countries DID put their forests down so they could thrive.
John, I respect his legacy as president, mainly the Bolsa Família, but he is no saint. Corruption is ingrained in almost everything in Brazil and things that may chock people from other countries are just “the news of the day” for us. Bolsonaro and his three sons (all politicians) are collecting these obscure stories. Lula has his share too, these obscure evidences without proof of guilt... but he is locked away for almost 2 years already, something remarkable for any politician in Brazil. I’m not saying he is not guilty of anything but is clear to see that there are strong interests in keeping him in jail
Fausto Levantesi they did, but mainly in the 19th and a big part of the 20th centuries, times when environment wasn’t a concern for anyone... Today the story is very different, we are more concerned about the importance of preserving rainforests and the natural environment, so this argument is just not valid
Amount of ignorance and greed shown by the private ILLEGAL family at 8 mins was horrid.
we really are gonna die omg
no we aren't Global warming is a scam to take more money from you. Al Gore said we only had 10 years left 15 years ago. You have to stop listening to this dumbshtt. Are you going to wait 20 years after al said we only have 10 years left??? Honestly?

I agree.

I Guess is better to produce beef in América right? More money for you! You should show how Brasil is producing more meat using less land!
Show The diference system , we produce grass beef how about USA!?!?
How about protect The wild life?!
How much The american farmers protect in Their land???
Why you dont show that!?
Everyone is to blame, but Brazil IS the biggest exporter of meat in the world.
Government could easily solve it, just make a bunch of national parks with the same amount of tree's cut down by these ppl.
Because the government has a great track record of solving things.

Gonna have a steak to help support those people who depend on that industry to support their families. Also because steak is so very tasty.
Love the way you people want tell people in other countries how they should live. This climate change hoax stuff is getting out of hand, it's already been debunked. People have been saying the world is dieing for about 50 years now.
The world is dying and 60% of animal species have already gone extinct Einstein.
It isn't about saving this world, it's about saving our own arse. Regardless of whether we are going to survive or not, this planet is fully capable of regenerating itself.
ez, so its down to cow belching thats the major problem with meat consumption. so if ure a consumer of red meat and u have it 7 days a week, now consider mixing it up with white meat consumption 50% of the time instead, 4 days red meat, 3 days white meat - chicken. u have flavour fatigue anyway if u just keep having the same red meat all the time, so your red meat will only taste better if ure smart and mix it up such that some days or alternate meals u have chicken instead.
or if the argument is such that folks that prefer red meat and only stick to red meat arrive at their choice because they like nothing else other than beef. then, its work in the direction of laboratory cultured meat that needs to be advanced, anyway u cant have future generations living outside planet earth to be full boring vegetarian dieters, it just wont hold up with time and folks will probably go mad unless its habitualized over a few generations and even then as long as meat still exist, humans of the future that are prevented from consuming it will rediscover it and from this alone spawn its own web of problematic complications.
which means meat eaters are going to keep existing and keep having excuses to go back to their preferences. so the way to solve this is to engineer laboratory cultured meat that taste better than organic beef from cows and also to eventually create it completely side effect and harm free for human consumption. taste better not in a acquired taste kind of way but actually tasting better and its not like its impossible to achieve, just need the foresight and to set forth about accomplishing it only.
this is how u can have both trees and burgers, though its not really a trees or burgers issue here but particularly cows belching and beef consumption thats the issue. burgers are still fine if they are chicken burgers, chickens dont belch like moo cows.
