The tens of thousands of fires that have blazed through the Amazon rainforest this year prompted Eddie Huang to rethink some lifestyle choices.

The New York-based restaurateur announced on social media Friday he is going vegan for environmental reasons, writing that “we are fucking ourselves” due to human consumption of beef.

“After watching videos of the Amazon on fire this week, Ive decided that this corned beef I ate at Junior’s last week will be the last piece of beef I ever eat,” he wrote on Instagram. “Im going to go vegan because it takes 20 times less land to feed a vegan than a meat eater and over 90% of the land cleared in the amazon rainforest since 1970 is used for grazing livestock, but if all of us just stopped eating BEEF it would solve huge problems.”
