If you want to save the planet, eat a juicy beef burger. To some, that sounds wrong. But is it?

I became a vegetarian when I learned about CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations), where 10s of thousands (often over 100,000) of cattle are bunched together and fed systematic antibiotics to get fat on grain before they are slaughtered.

All those animals pooping in one place make it a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It's cruel to corral cattle together in close confinement without access to pastures while waiting to be slaughtered. That didn't sound right to me, so I stopped eating meat.

I eat meat now. So what changed?

I learned the difference between "feedlot beef" and "local beef."

I learned that not all meat is created equally.
