No, for each animal you eat you're eating lots of plants in a really inefficient - and needlessly cruel - way

I cannot eat grass, ruminant animals can. How is it inefficient for me to eat the animal rather than the grass?

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.
