Land doesn't have to be used for anything, unless you want to do things.
The point is that grazing is much less destructive to the original ecology than farming, so it's not clear that 1 acre of farming is better than 100 acres of grazing.
I might be misguided here, but AFAIK grazing doesn't "deplete" the land at all (and might even improve the land with manure / etc), where as farming absolutely does unless you're careful about it.
- spicymaki 6y agoYou can’t scale environmentally friendly organic grass fed beef. There is a reason why we have cruel factory farms.
- fastball 6y agoRight, but I don't think anyone in this thread is arguing that Beyond Burgers don't scale better – people are merely pushing back against the idea that we should eliminate all consumption of meat and that all methods of raising such are objectively worse than such alternatives.
