True, but that's not a refutation of what I said. I didn't say a lot of pasture lands are arable, I said "a lot of arable land is used to raise animals."
I'd also like to reiterate my point that cattle are not the animals I'd like to see more of.

We're already subsidizing agriculture massively, and while there are many forms of government spending I oppose, a subsidy which a) allows people to afford food, b) pays workers, and c) improves our food sustainability and security, is exactly the sort of thing I want my taxes going to.
