I answered somewhere else. Brazil being a major exporter of only primary sector goods isn't doing the population of the country any favours. > If people from other countries really want Brazilian economy to get off the ground, they should want Brazil to export processed and manufactured goods, or other sectors. > Treating Brazil like a big farm is doing neither Brazil nor the environment any favours. > The "We should't criticise Brazil" is not only hypocritical, it's also counter-intuitive. It's not about halting a major part of its economy. It's about not fucking up the rest of the economy only to accommodate a sector that isn't doing that much good for the greater part of the population. China/EU/US actually love the cheap meat. The "let's not criticise" is as self-serving as it gets.
