93 percent of cattle's lifetime diet intake is food that is essentially inedible to humans, for instance agricultural byproduct/waste such as the cornstalks, husks, and depleted cobs and therefore their diet is not in direct competition with the human food supply. They don't feed cattle valuable cornmeal and soybeans. Unlike humans, cattle can efficiently digest fiber and convert previously human-inedible feeds into nutritious, human-edible foods. http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-10165/ANSI-3296.pdf http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-1...
