You’re forgetting that the US exports beef, and also turns it into other products such as dog food. You also need to feed people all over again next year, and it’s not like we’re all eating <1 year old cows.
- Maursault 5y ago14% of US beef is exported, but if the beef industry disappeared overnight, no one would starve as a result, and neither would the ~70M dogs in the US, which are omnivores btw. And typically slaughter occurs between 12 and 22 months, so it's more accurate to snark "it's not like you're all eating >2 year old cows."
