Pound for pound, drop for drop, a beef animal provides ENORMOUSLY more than any crop and with far more efficiency.”
That, and they go great sitting beside a baked potato with everything on it, and an ice cold beer in a frosty glass
Yes -- that too! :^)
What really fries me are all these morons who argue about grain-fed beef and dairy critters, saying "We could use that same grain to feed millions more people!" NO, they coudln't use that same grain to feed people! If people tried to eat the same grain fed to livestock, which is grown on acreage not of the right soil or in the right climate/rainfall to profitably grow human-consumable crops, they'd die of malnutrition because they don't have four stomachs to process it! When I explained this to a vegan acquaintance, I remember the blank look on her face and then the light bulb went on ... DUH!!!! Even she saw that I spoke the truth; she shut up with that particular argument after that.
