    we use some of the most fertile lands in the midwest that could be used to grow literally anything else to grow vast amounts of soy and corn for cows.

      And in those specific cases, sure, you could do more efficiently by getting rid of the cattle.

      The point I’m making is that there’s plenty of cattle raised in places that aren’t like that.

        sure but a very small amount compared to what people eat. around 50% of american land is just used to grow crops for cattle. if we opted to reduce that, think of how much forest and natural land we could bring back.
