Extremely non environmental friendly however. Beef should be a treat.

  It depends where you live. Where I live pastoral farming is much easier than cropping, so beef and lamb are good choice. But I live in hill country. On the plains it is not so. (Sorry George Monbiot, you twit, agricultural land is not fungible)

    Pastoral farming doesn't magically make the methane these cows release disappear.

      A lot of ecosystems evolved in the context of large herbivores, including various kinds of cattle-related species. Global warming is not the only ecological concern.

        Are you comparing the impact mass farming cattle to that of free-ranging large herbivores? Because if you are doing it in good faith, I am sad to inform you the difference in number of individuals is an order of magnitude.

          We have about 91 million cattle in the United States (including calves). The buffalo herd was historically between 22 and 88 million. Currently we have about 30 million white-tailed deer. I strong suspect that historical numbers were at least as high. I think you are overstating the case.
