IMO, no, not remotely. The externalized impacts from cattle on public land are extensive and severe compared to the supposed benefit. Beef is also by far the highest impact food source humans use at scale. We should be minimizing it in favor of other, lower impact protein sources. Nobody has to eat grasshoppers either, chicken and pork can be largely fine from an impact perspective (though aren't always today).
