Wrong. Most of the land upon which cattle are grazed is unsuitable for
crop production. The cattle convert grasses and scrub -- which is all of
no use to humans with one stomach -- into protein which humans CAN eat.
They also do it more efficiently without need of combines, plows, water
for irrigation, pesticides, etc.
