I am not sure that many Brazilian farmers are reading the Guardian. But if it can help the editor’s ego...

  Brazil exports loads of food. Not buying meats from Brazil (not so common in Western countries, though) is one of the most effective ways to change the situation.

    Indeed. Just eat meat that's been produced locally. It's not difficult. It is, however, more expensive. If it's too expensive, perhaps consider the option that you're eating too much of it.

  I'm not sure the Guardian editor is reading you commnent either, so why are you posting? The answer is that articles like this may inform other influencers. Such as those who consume Brazilian products.

    I am not trying to change the behaviour of the Guardian, merely pointing at its virtu signalling.
    • glogla 7y ago
      Does "Virtue signalling" count as alt-right dog whistle? It should, based on usage.
      • ben_w 7y ago
        Dog-whistle? No, but I agree with the implicit point that the use of the phrase “virtue signalling” as an insult is itself virtue signalling, specifically signalling a dislike of things generally associated with the American left.

        Godwin point reached.

      The Guardian is giving a voice to people who are at a disadvantage. This is not virtue signaling, this article is written by an indigenous brazilian... they don't have the money to buy ad space like e.g. the brazilian farmer lobby has.
