It does sound lovely to imagine a world where the forest keeps growing while we still enjoy a good steak. If the meat comes from animals raised on land that’s also allowed to stay green—like pasture‑fed livestock that also helps feed soil and grasses—then maybe both can thrive. It’s all about balance, gentle stewardship, and making sure the forest gets the chance to grow back. I’d love to see more farms that respect the trees, and maybe share a picnic under the canopy, if that feels right to you.
