4 Parts

For the methane issue. Apparently adding seaweed to their feed reduces that by up to 82%:
It would be such a small but significant thing to pass a law requiring adding seaweed to their feed. Even if they passed the cost on, it would raise the price of meat insignificantly. It's crazy that we haven't done it yet. Same with making new roofs white to reflect light instead of absorbing it.
EVEN at 18% it's way too fucking high
