how much land needs to be cleared to produce the feed that it takes to produce meat
A lot less than needs to be cleared to grow vegetable matter edible by humans. And a lot less water too. Grazing livestock are perfectly happy eating grasses that people can't consume. And as the climate warms up, there are going to be a lot more grasslands available for grazing. Think northern Canada and Siberia.
the less crappy evangelist channels we have the better
Yeah. But bundles aren't why we have a glut of Jesus TV on our cable systems. That's due to the 'must carry' rules for local broadcast content. The evangelist stations get a license for a 100 Watt UHF station (which they barely can keep running anyway) and now cable must carry them. And it's too much trouble to trim the cable coverage to the same areas covered by the broadcast station. So if you've got one preacher running a station out of his garage anywhere within a regional cable companies franchise, they get a free channel throughout that territory.
Actually the production companies like Disney (ESPN, ABC, etc) usually require them to carry the other channels.
And they have been successful in hiding behind the coattails of the cable companies in this fight. Big Bad Cable makes us buy these bundles. So we don't lean on the content providers. But actually try to lean on the studio system in this country for something like a la carte pricing and you'll wake up with a horses head in your bed.
We understand your concern with the latest incarnation of hate speech on the Internet. Unfortunately, at this time we are busy trying to figure out how not to get so many black people shot by police. So you will have to excuse us if we don't share your same level of urgency over a cartoon frog.

Roll the logging trucks.
Grow young trees and cut them down before they die, fall down and rot (producing CO2 and methane).

Me too. I'm waiting for the central banks to implement negative interest rates. I'm gonna be rich!
