        When you buy flesh they just use that money to make more cows.

        When you stop buying flesh they stop making more cows.

        That’s just economics. Now say some more glib bullshit to show how deeply unserious you are.

          Both problems can be addressed at once. Eat all the bovine, and stop breeding bovine…

          The problem will never be solved just by avoiding meat. Eat all the meat!

          Also, if you follow my instructions, eat all the meat, then cows go extinct, which fixes the majority of the bovine methane issue.
