Honestly flabbergasted by the amount of ignorance in this thread, it was definitely not what I expected from the Hacker News crowd. - Cattle does not eat soy byproducts and soy production is definitely not driven by human consumption. Not by value, not by mass. [1] - Bison herds did not produce as much methane as today's cattle. [2] - Cattle does not strictly use land unsuitable for growing crops. Also, this completely ignores any other unwanted effects of having too much cattle (in one area). [3] - Meat is not always healthier than "processed foods", whatever the latter may actually mean. 1: https://nieuwscheckers.nl/nieuwscheckers/soja-voor-veevoer-is-geen-restproduct/ https://nieuwscheckers.nl/nieuwscheckers/soja-voor-veevoer-i... 2: https://mrdrscienceteacher.wordpress.com/2019/09/21/bison-vs-cow-greenhouse-gas-emissions/ https://mrdrscienceteacher.wordpress.com/2019/09/21/bison-vs... 3: https://www.wur.nl/upload_mm/f/8/f/86d216c6-5b3c-4058-acb3-5be496892e41_Livestock's%20long%20shadow%20FAO%202006.pdf https://www.wur.nl/upload_mm/f/8/f/86d216c6-5b3c-4058-acb3-5... When looking for facts on any of this, try to look for scientific papers instead of videos or blogs and do look-up the individual researchers and whom they work for. There's too much at stake here for the companies trying to sow doubt, as evidenced by some of the things I read here.
