If you're looking for death, you'll find more in the
rice. People get many servings of meat from the
death of a steer. If a grass raised steer provides
1000 servings of meat, that's pretty much 1/1000
death per serving. In contrast to that, there may
be several deaths involved with a bowl or two
of rice. On top of that the cattle only live because
they're raised for food, so eating meat not only
contributes to death for cattle, it also contributes
to their lives.
