    It’s also much more efficient. People will think meat is calorie dense and efficient in those terms, but every 1 calorie of beef you eat costs 6 calories in crops fed to the cow. I believe chicken and most others are 4 or 5 calories of crops per calorie of meat. 50% of the continental US is currently used to raise livestock and the food to feed them, funnily enough reducing meat consumption would also greatly reduce the amount of crops we consume as a society overall further reducing water and many other types of waste.
