Cattle are kept in the rainforest, yes, but the forest cut down for grazing is far outweighed for the forest cut down to groy soy to feed the cattle.

Absolutism is unnecessary, two people eating half as much beef is just as impactful as one of two people going vegan.

I don't think eating less meat is impractical, certainly not specifically just eating less beef, by far the most environmentally impactful one.

Or don't keep cattle in the rainforest.

Should the opportunity to do so ever arise, I’ll make a note not to do that. In the meantime, as I am not a cattle farmer, I’ll continue to not eat meat.
