Being pedantic. If we eat the stuff they feed to the cows I eat we would die. Grass is not human digestible.
My point being the problem is not meat which is a natural part of our diet (and is traditionally raised on land not well suited to crops) but the crazy frankenmeat many are reduced to eating due to overpopulation.
- Ma8ee 6y agoAnd as you well know, no one is suggesting that, so why is it worth to mention?
- jiofih 6y agoPretty sure the parent comment was suggesting that. Hé even said “it’s what vegetarians do”.
- astura 6y agoCows raised for beef are almost always fed corn and soy in feedlots, not let out to pasture to graze on grass.
- jiofih 6y agoIndeed, it’s a shame since grass-fed tastes much better and is more environmentally friendly. Either way, we can’t just “eat what the cows eat” directly and there are a lot more variables to consider.

- Ma8ee 6y agoAll meats are causing much more greenhouse gas emissions than vegetarian food. Even cows only eating grass farts a lot, which is a significant contribution (not kidding).
