Switching to local beef made me think about our environmental impact.

Some say it supports nearby farms and cuts transport, others focus on the higher cost. How do you handle this?

My beef comes from a ranch 50 miles away instead of a factory farm 1500 miles off. The methane's still bad, but cutting out that transport haul matters.

Honestly, how much difference does it really make? The cow is still eating and, you know, making methane no matter where it lives. The transport part is a tiny slice of the whole problem. Feels like focusing on local vs. not is missing the bigger, messier picture of just how much meat costs the planet.
