Most European cattle are grass fed, it's nothing to do with the amount of people you can feed with it. US and Canadian cattle are grain fed because the US grows huge amounts of subsidised grain and it's cheap. It really is that simple.
Some studies claim you get a sixth of the methane from grass fed cows.

Anyway, beef consumers can certainly vote on this topic. If you prefer the taste or morality of grass-fed beef, it's available for purchase.
