There are a number of items where i disagree with with current beef production methods.
However, it seems worthy to mention that there is a very small proportion of land which is suitable for agriculture on this earth and 3/4 of that is useful only for grazing by ruminants.
I am sure some digging would find similar campaigns in the pork and poultry industries. My own alma mater recently heralded increasing "collaborative research" with corporations and others - including things like the "Chan Zuckerberg Biohub". As Corporate America replaces the research funding being rapidly sucked away by the very same Corporate America's campaign to defund the federal government (NIH for example), expect much more obfuscation - - bought and paid for by the BIGS.
Thanks for this, Nina. We, as individuals, need to recognize our power to affect the health of ourselves, our planet, including compassion for the treatment of animals. Our governments won't save us--and the big AG cartels certainly won't! In my 20's I read "Diet for a Small Planet," by Frances Moore Lappe, and it changed my diet forever.
