The whole point of this reduction of meat and dairy intake is to REDUCE the demand for products of animal agriculture, which is considered “wasteful” by the climate fascists.

The consumption of animal-sourced proteins is actually one of the better ways to balance our diets. Over-reliance on plant protein leads to a deficit in certain essential amino acids, and as a result, the protein that IS consumed does not go to rebuild healthy nerves, muscles or much of the body’s connective tissue, and is “burned” by the body as an energy source, with excess nitrogen being excreted through the kidneys, leading to early renal failure, and resulting increased body function disturbances, often reflected in illnesses and shortened life span.

Ruminants (cattle, sheep and the like) have the capability to extract protein from any source, like grass and grain, and in their rumen, the bacterial action can generate EVERY amino acid needed to provide a full and balanced array of amino acids from which to construct the proteins required for full function. It has been demonstrated that with a diet of nothing except shredded newsprint and a nitrogenous compound, urea, cattle can convert this in their rumen into those complete amino acids, and also use the shredded newsprint to extract enough energy to totally replace any other form of carbohydrate, and even a full range of lipids (fat), which are modified from the basic carbohydrate molecule.

Of course, certain other minerals have to be made available to the ruminant animal, as trace amounts are necessary to make the vitamin complexes, and to insure the internal function of the skeletal and circulatory systems. But this can be provided with a mineral block, and does not have to be mixed into the daily food intake.

But most of this is unnecessary for grazing animals on good fertile pasture. Grass alone can provide the basic needs of a beef cow, and the difference can be tasted in the meat.
