no one will ever convince me that plants are less destructive to the environment than cattle.
In order to grow anything commercially you have to clear cut 10’s of thousands of acres and then plough the ground down about 2 feet killing every living thing there in the process then you plant one particular crop and then spray it with chemicals to kill any living thing that might want to eat it and then every once in a while you harvest all of it and start over.
Someone explain to me how that is somehow better for the environment than cattle munching on grass in a natural field and forest area surrounded by all the plants and animals common in the area?
the morons dont think that much... they see their veggies at the supermarket and thats as far as it goes.

Dude .
That’s not how it works.
Farmers are good stewards of the land.
The soil is well taken care and full of life.
And those grazing cattle need to be fed grain to make decent meat
The “Save the Earth” people are so concerned about cattle farts that they want any cattle left to have “fart bags” placed on their rear ends....
They don’t farm that way anymore. Too expensive and reduces yields. No till is the primary method now in the US. Chemicals (herbicide, pesticides and even fertilizers) are expensive so the minimum is used.
