Karla, the flaw I see in your reasoning is that to satisfy the demand for
meat and dairy in this country, it's not possible to raise enough animals on
grass. Therefore enormous farms must harvest many times the produce to feed
cattle than would be needed to feed humans directly. The cow dies, all the
little animals in the field (times x) die. I am not a militant vegan, I'm
not arguing for the sake of it, I'm not even arguing ethics, just straight
numbers.
