Vegetarians can shut up
Ok, so it's all more complicated than that. But the main reason the Amazon is currently being deforested is so that people can grow soy and make your gelatenous meat subsitute. Alright, I like tofu a lot too, but the point is that simplistic ideologies like vegetarianism are not the way to save the world. Eating local food seems like the best way to do it.
YOU are full of crap and don't have a clue what your talking about!!!

And those of us who also care about the environment know that buying soybeans can pay for deforestation and thus try to avoid buying unfriendly soy products. Any veg*n who tells you that going veg*n is the way to "save the world" is full of it. It's just a necessary part of the way, since in a saved world we shouldn't hurt other sentient beings, human or otherwise.
