    God forbid they eat another form of protein that’s sustainable and environmentally friendly.

    The non-animal protein that is sustainable and environmentally friendly - where does it get its fertilizer from?

      They get it from synthetic fertilizer? You think it comes from cattle lol?

      Dude, you cut a cow and you need WAAAAAY less land and fertilizer than if you feed that cow.

      And yes, not all land for cattle feed can be used for human crops, but even if we had zero beef, we’d have enough land to support human crops.

      I honestly think you’re trolling now because you’re not only denying reality and making up absurd claims, but you’re ignoring my points and not responding to them lol.

      Is synthetic fertilizer bad for the environment? Sure, but we need a hell of a lot less when we decrease beef production. If you add more cattle for natural manure fertilizers, you need more land to grow their feed. This is a self-perpetuating cycle.
