    Because we use the land that could be used to grow enough food to feed many people to grow food for cows, which then feed fewer people. By buying into this system, you’re propagating inefficiency.

      Right, we bulldoze forests to make fertile land available. I agree that’s bad, I don’t want celery from that land either

        We’d need less land for crops generally if we were allotting it to human food instead of livestock feed.
