From the life and death of a 1000 lb grass raised steer people can
get over 700 severings of beef. Just a few servings of tofu are likely
to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings of grass
raised beef. From the life and death of a grass raised dairy cow people
can get thousands of servings of dairy products. Just a few servings
of rice or soy milk are likely to involve more animal deaths than
hundreds of servings of grass raised cow milk. People can get many
servings of meat from large animals who are hunted. People who
eat mostly grass raised or hunted animal products are almost certain
to contribute to fewer animal deaths than most veg*ns. Most of the
deaths the diets of such omnivores do contribute to are involved with
the vegetable products they consume.

What a great ****up: "severings"!

YOU don't eat grass-fed (only) beef. Lots of
collateral deaths accrue to you for the animals killed
in the course of producing the grain fed to the beef
cattle you eat.

You do not care about "providing decent lives" for farm
animals.

"one 3-ounce serving of beef has as much zinc as 5 1/2 chicken breasts"
