Pretty much!

That definition always bothered me a lot... The hyperactivity is always there, but it's either internalised, externalised and sometimes it's both. It's the intensity of it that can vary a lot from person to person.
Eg. Pretty much every group of people in the history of humanity. We tend to forget that we're just dumb animals with dumb animal instinct sometimes.
Isn't that the tyranny of the majority? The fact that a larger percentage of the population does something, doesn't necessarily mean it's the better thing.
I meant that the article points out it's a systemic problem, and the solution so far has been to shift the blame on individuals by telling them they should eat better and move more. It's good to acknowledge that and do better.
Just did, it's a systemic issue with the blame shifted onto the individual then. One more to the pile !
"Eat less, move more" is the goal, but many obese people have massive hurdles to go and do that. Be it time, mental health, social circle, etc. It's insanely hard to be able to even take time to reassess your daily routine and even more so to actually try to get out of your patterns.
The fire is pretty bad, it reached the city and they had to interrupt all train traffic towards and from Marseille and Nice because of it. Not sure if the airport is a base of operation, but the smoke is really thick, and I'm not sure planes can safely fly through that.
Art of the deal is actually making the deal, not sealing the deal. And he's made a lot of deals! None of them good, most of them never sealed!
Where do you think most of the world's red meat is coming from? Brazil is one of the top producers and exporters of red meat, deforestation is ravaging the Amazon.
3rd world countries are not eating red meat, we are. The link between rich countries and meat consumption has been established for a long time now.
Most cattle eat soy, not grass, that's also a myth. Simply because soy is a whole lot cheaper, and a lot more abundant and easier to grow than grass. Also, grass is only slightly better than feed, but it generates more GEG overall because of digestion.
We need soy, so we need monocultures of soy, and that's catastrophic, just like you said.
Transport is actually not that big of a problem with red meat. Land usage and the actual cattle are. They're the top source of GEG emissions from agriculture.
You were talking about thermodynamics earlier. Red meat is incredibly inefficient converting resources to usable calories. 1kg of beef requires 25kg of feed.
You're also using a lot of straw men in your arguments, living in a grass hut instead of a concrete building, or electric vehicles for cattle transportation?
You can enjoy red meat but you can't argue in good faith that it's not completely awful for the environment at pretty much every level.
