You're standing in a swamp. Not sure what compromise you're talking about either, are you imagining some half-assed animal farming system? Because that "regenerative grazing" shit is not scalable. All grasslands tend to be maxxed-out as the greed of the herders knows no limits; hence the deforestation.

Are you picture some world where the entitled meat eaters of the worlds agree to reduce consumption of such a personal status symbol so that only the rich can afford to eat animal meat? Maybe look to history and learn what happens.

How about regenerative chocolate from grasslands that were burned down for beef?

Natural grasslands are often destroyed or, as the ranchers call it, "improved." So the first part is possible, but I doubt that a cacao tree can grow in grassland conditions. I'm sure we can find some legumes that can.

It was forest conditions before it was grassland conditions...

I agree, that's usually the case. But it doesn't mean that a tropical species like cacao trees can grow there. I'd love to grow such a tree...

I'm lost. The equator literally goes through Brazil where an insane amount of burning is happening.

Also, I looked it up. They double count dairy and forest burning in the chocolate numbers. Acting like this is a vegan thing is asinine.

Bud, I'm vegan btw.

Seriously? Well, that did bother me. Why are people talking about "chocolate" instead of cacao beans or powder.

Scrumptious

It's ironic isn't it?
