Picanha is just a particular cut. You can get it from any cow, regardless of region. I get that most picanha-branded meat is advertised as originating from Brazil, but if you really want to contribute to protecting the Amazon forest, why no

Fires like the ones in Athens are happening more often globally and they are a legitimate issue. Washington and California in the last year, Portugal 2 years ago. I agree with your general idea, but society is a mechanism and many people in
