Americans are the largest consumers of red meat in the world. While this may not have any significance to you, there are actually a lot of negative environmental side effects that come from America's huge beef industry, threatening our climate, land, and water. Cows are a huge source of greenhouse gases. I am not trying to pick a fight with cows, but I am picking a fight with how many cows America's beef industry raises. According to this video, Americans eat (on average) 3 hamburgers per week, and 3x more red meat than any other country. So, try to cut down on your weekly meat consumption. You don't need to give up red meat entirely, but try to eat one less burger per week, or one less steak. Choose a meat like chicken instead, and maybe even try some tofu.
