While yes, consuming less meat and especially cow (dairy, beef) is good for you and the environment, your 2/3 statistic falls a part with actual data

Get your statistics right or don’t say them at all.

I meant 2/3 of your personal food emissions. I'm aware that this is not the solution, but it's a very easy step and no solution will be enough without us changing what we eat.

So 2/3 of something that wasn't that much to start with. Got it.
