My beef is with the phony, two-mouthed, two-faced, contradicting, do-not-understand-full-issue and half-baked-knowledge-holding, hypocrite environmentalists, and not with who say I love beef and environment is not the highest priority of the world (above hunger, poverty, infant mortality). That honesty is in fact admirable.

Environment is what to the have-time-on-hands and comfortable Western world wacos as what golf is to rich people. Both fancy people who are out of touch with the world reality.

If you will ever visit India, don't say "I eat cows". Lol

me too or a good hamburger yum and I know its better to eat meatless couple of days a week we all should it would make a diff but the ranchers and dairy and chicken farms ...pork too all push for bigger farms more profit and more, more, more ...... what happened to being satisfied to make a decent living ...not getting richer and richer just to be rich

@whiskywoman I have a lot of good meatless recipes that I do use, I'm more an everything in moderation sort. But for a celebration or just sometimes it sounds good....I want a good steak or lobster!

yes we should

My research is the links I gave. Read the articles.

@St-Sinner i grew up on a dairy farm..."cow farms" would make both a dairyman& a cattle rancher laugh their asses off...repeat, no such thing! Your sources are hardly to be trusted since they Clearly don't know squat on the subject, at a minimum they could learn the correct term(s)!
BTW I Had to call my brothers & use the term"cow farm",we too enjoyed a hearty laugh! And I repeat, "grass fed" is now the gold standard for feeding both dairy cows & cattle! Ranchers get more/you pay more per pound for beef labeled "grass-fed beef", vs. grain-fattened, now considered low-class & not as healthy, which you can see for yourself at any good meat counter.

you are right but so is he it takes many of our resources to raise cattle and the systems we use for chickens and hogs may not be the best way
I do homeschool with my autistic grandson and its a recent topic ...we are taking more and more forest and converting for ranching and that brings unfamiliar animals into contact with each other and with us and is a great breeding ground for this pandemic and for many in the future ...plus the affect on our climate
I love meat but we need to make changes in how we grow and produce food ...and how we control population

I’ve never fed my cows corn during the winter. Corn is something that’s generally only fed to cattle in feedlots during the final finishing phase. I supplement my cows with hay mostly alfalfa during the winter. Also I stock light enough that there is still plenty of dry grass remaining for them to eat during the winter months

Is he from India? Lol

@St-Sinner

No Oklahoma. Lol

Cows in India
