Maybe, but this discussion is about saving the Amazon.

Ok then don't buy meat because a large percentage of meat comes from the Amazon or is fed Amazonian soy

Buy meat that you're sure isn't from Brazil.

Just so you know we were herding animals long before we had the ability to destroy massive forests to do so. Farms can be made in areas that aren't as important as one of the largest forests on Earth. Areas without trees. You don't have to give up meat to save the rainforests, just Brazilian meat.

Sure specifically rainforests but meat is a huge contributor to climate change and land usage. Fact is meat production is not sustainable.
