    What about the deforestation caused by animal agriculture?

    that’s bad. buying beans doesn’t fix it though.

      This is a strawman. No one is arguing buying beans fixes deforestation. However, if less meat is produced (ie less animals are raised for slaughter), then less deforestation will come as a result of the meat industry. If legume farming was destroying the rainforest, I’d have a problem with that too
