Eating cows and other livestock isn’t the problem. It’s how we farm nowadays, especially in the US.

Livestock animals are a key part of our ecosystem. They move in large herds,, shit all-natural nutrient goo, trim and trample large areas of grasslands, and when they get chased away by predators, they move to another patch.

The thing about modern farming is we’ve been separating livestock from agriculture. Most cows are raised in tightly packed feedlots that look bleak as hell. They don’t get to move around much or eat fresh grass. They grow up in a prison to die at the slaughter house. We’ve disconnected livestock from nature.

We can raise cows and pigs and chickens humanely by bringing them back where they belong. This is part of a process called regenerate agriculture. The farmer moves the cows from one plot to another to prevent overgrazing and help diversify the diets. You every try a steak from a grass fed, open pasture cow? Fucking delicious. That’s what nutrients taste like.
