But that's not the only reason to cut back on beef consumption as a country. How about our health, our water, our land, etc., etc.

🧐 NBER study may have overestimated Brexit hit, apparently, because "a good deal of this effect will have been due not so much to Brexit as such, but the long period of uncertainty after the vote". 🤣
