Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Clearing land for soy and cattle exports is also the main reason the Amazon and the Pantanal are burning. Two of the most unique and biodiverse biomes on Earth are being reduced to ash and still people go hungry.
The world we made is too inefficient.
The amount of wasted farmland opportunity just so we can all get cardiovascular disease early by eating burgers and steaks every single night instead of a more varied plant prominent diet is depressing. No one deserves to go hungry, and feeding all the cows we raise crap we don't even eat sure doesn't help the situation. That's not even getting into the other issues of methane, pollution, and issues regarding ethics of slaughter. Put the effort we throw at growing food for cows into growing food for people.
