This debate is raging right now. Is it better in North America to eat domesticated cattle, which basically destroy any chance at a healthy ecology, or just go shoot a bison when you need food? The bison can support a mature ecology.
And basically, if you have capitalism/individual property rights then the answer HAS to be cattle, plus a lot of fossil fuel inputs.
But at the systemic level is it better? It’s probably worse. So does that mean we’re just waiting on culture to invent the right social structures so we can return to hunting?
