The ~~consolation~~ consolidation of meat packing has had a significant effect on producers. Possibly greater than fewer people eating meat. For those that can try to buy your meat from a local farmer or rancher. It will taste better and is more ethical.

Fuck JBS, Cargill, National Beef and Tyson.

how can I help as a vegetarian?

Farm fesih eggs. And boy they taste so much better than the store bought ones. Also all the farmers market veggies you can get you hands on. Just make sure you are buying from real farms. I have seen a few people buy just regular wholesale cases of veggies and selling them a local farm fresh.

Also thank you so much for not just saying I am a terrible person for advocating for independent rancher. I truly just want to see a better way of getting everyone fed.

If you're a convert, your cheat days could be with local beef. If you don't do cheat days (idk if those are a thing; I've been vegetarian since birth), then I have no clue.
