Why is the Amazon Rainforest disappearing at 53 square kilometres per day?!


Question: Why is the Amazon Rainforest disappearing at 53 square kilometres per day!?
Is it to make farm land to grow feed to feed livestock so the people can eat meat!?
53 sq!.km!./day is 20,000 sq!. km!./year!. is the size of a small country!.
4 kgs of grain needs to be grown to produce 1 kg of meat!.
People are starving around the world, 4kgs of grain will make a lot of bread!.
1kg of meat will feed !.!.!.
Are there any thoughts on this!?

Answers:
Because most of the people who eat meat are entirely uninformed of the impact that their dietary choices have on the world around them!. And sometimes they forget that the world is not just theirs, and that the things here weren't put here to serve them!. Because some people are just dumb!.

But, I think there's hope!. Maybe someone will read this question and it will start the wheels turning in their head, and they will possibly look up the impact they're making!. Here's to hoping!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Basically you have answered your own question!. Lots of hamburgers!.

My family and I are vegetarians with the exceptions of eggs and milk!. (In the olden tines we would have been called lacto-ovo vegetarians)

The ratio is closer to 7:1 for grain to meat!.

We need to make some changes!. But that will not happen until the system comes crashing down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well you already answered your own question:) also they tear it down for furniture and paper!.

Love your avatar by the way!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

not only that but rain forests and forests in general are disappearing because they are running out of room to fit ALL the livestock!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

population increase means more room!. villages, cattle farms and industries are settingn up more and more factories in other countries becaus ethey can get cheap labor!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
