From the recording Voice of the Forest
The Amazon Rainforest, being used for raising cattle. The forest is cut down to make grazing space. That particular soil has the potential to provide grazing for only one year, then it is stripped of nutrients FOREVER. Then they go and cut down some more.
Lyrics
Don't eat the red meat.
They're tearing down the garden just to graze cattle.
Don't eat the red meat.
We're burning down the forest just to raise beef.
Don't eat the red meat.
We're poisoning the river just to make fast food.
Don't eat the red meat.
Do we want to trade our garden for the burgers we eat?
We'd better get the message.
It's a life and death battle. (That bloody, bloody thing)
We're trading in our garden for a place to raise cattle. (That bloody thing)
Erosion washes the soil away and all that's left is a desert.
Rain stops falling in that region. And ALL THAT'S LEFT IS A DESERT
Don't eat the red meat.
Don't eat the red meat.
Don't eat the red meat.
Don't eat the red meat.
Don't eat the red meat.
Don't eat the red meat.
