That's some mighty fine green-washing going on there, as well as creating the illusion of a "premium" product for which they can justify a higher price.
The self-reported "low carbon" certification doesn't seem to include the GHG produced by growing and transporting the feed to the cattle, the cattle to the abattoir, running the factory, distributing the beef, though, does it? I could not find those numbers anywhere.
It also elides the other issues with beef, such as water and land-use. A kcal of beef is going to cost hundreds more gallons of water to produce than a kcal of vegetables. What about nitrogen run-off into ground water from feed lots?
What? I don't recall ever having heard the US spread democracy in Latin America. The US destabilized democratically elected governments and propped up violent regimes in Latin America to benefit private industry and "combat Communism".

Would it be too much to ask that the octave width of the keyboard be reduced to 6" or even 5.5" so that women and men with smaller hands could play with less discomfort, rather than being based on what someone in the 16th century preferred.
There is already a point system to take away their license. Why not enforce the existing regulation? Also, the US system of traffic fines is a joke. A $250 fine for someone making minimum wage is going to hurt a huge amount, but that same fine is going to be meaningless to someone making $100,000/yr. Fines should be based on a percentage of gross yearly income.
