> Americans switching from beef to plant-based patties would be equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road for an entire year.

But they point out 372 million people not eating meat is the same as 12 million cars off the road for 1 year! Where do they get these garbage numbers?

probably analysis of the carbon emissions that beef and beef externalities produce compared to the average emission of a typical car and then aggregate that into a single comparison to highlight just how much beef and beef production emits to the environment.
