Meanwhile, Britain is converting coal plants to wood pellet burning plants... where are those wood pellets coming from? Not from deforested Europe... but from American forests. Europe's shortsighted "green" energy policy is deforesting America now. Not long after they helped deforest the Amazon to grow soybeans for their eco-friendly vegan BS food.
2/3 of the world's soybeans are used in animal feed. another 1/5 is converted to oil, much of it used in processed and fast food frying up those soybean-fed animals. Grains and beans for human consumption are generally less resource intense per calorie than when converted through animal feed so you can't blame vegans for deforestation. Ethanol however...
