It’s unnatural for a cow to weigh 1200lbs by eating hybrid grains with
excess sugar. A “natural” cow weighs 900lbs. So if a natural human weighs
150lbs and a human eating too much fat and sugar weighs 200lbs. Looks to me
like Harris is pushing 200lbs. Perhaps it’s unnatural for humans to
overconsume fat from animals.
Currently livestock uses 30% of the Earth’s entire land surface.
Additionally livestock consumes 33% of grain production (mostly USA). If
you want grass fed beef you’ll increase the demand on acres by more than
double. Grain farming is far more efficient than grass grazing at growing
beef. Proponents of this idea haven’t crunched the numbers yet or don’t
care that 6 million children die each year of starvation. This idea could
replace war and sanctions as the most dangerous practice on Earth.
Thank you Mr. Harris! I so appreciate and honor what you do. It is healthy
all around. Farming the way you do it will always be the right way for all
the creatures involved.
