if you didn't have a farm system to pull from, how many animals would you slaughter to subsist? Where would you raise the animal? what things would you give up

if you didn't have a farm system to pull from, how many animals would you slaughter to subsist? Where would you raise the animal? what things would you give up for proper animal husbandry? I'd argue it is incredibly efficient!
- ethanbond 4y agoIt is incredibly efficient if you start with the assumption that raised meat is the required way to feed people. It's not, obviously, and less so every day.
- 0xbadcafebee 4y agoYep. It was the supply of cheap meat that drove demand. Before large scale animal husbandry, it was super expensive to butcher healthy animals, and comparatively cheap to keep them around for milk and cheese. Pigs and chickens are an exception because they eat everything and they thrive pretty easily.
- abfan1127 4y agoI'd argue that meat should be the preferred method of feeding people given the nutrients in it.
