I’m not a vegan, but beef production needs to be severely cut back if we want a sustainable meat industry.
Even compared to pork, beef is one of the most resource-intensive foodstuffs available. Cows need more land, better food, they release more greenhouse gases. I saw an infographic ages ago that claimed Beef was eight times as wasteful per pound as Pork! And of course chicken was even more efficient.
While plant-based substitutes are fine for some, in the meantime we need a cultural transition away from beef and towards pork for traditional American meals.
