1/Months in the making, here's the final cut of my story on the long-awaited wealth transfer, no longer in the future tense:

Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, we are cooking ourselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint https://t.co/3VtCWFpipN
