Meat is very calorie dense and provides a better source of protein and fat than many other foods. It also tastes very good.

Grass-fed animals are pretty great.
They turn land otherwise worthless into sources of tasty food.

feeding starving africans, asians, middle easterners and whites is a massive waste of resources but don't mention it otherwise you'll trigger the bleeding heart liberals.

shitposting on the internet is a massive waste of resources but yet here you are being a giant faggot.

South Americans like to cut back rainforest so they can raise cheap beef on the land they cleared out.
Of course, this graphic ignores the fact that most beef doesn't just come from SA.

And the animal produces far more than just meat.

>Broken analogy is broken.

>>72062942
water is only scarce in desert lands that had no business raising farms in the first place
most beef farms are in plains so i don't where the rainforest shit comes from
grain isn't scarce either
and that's not a lot of CO2

B12 aside, three out of the four problems are eliminated if we eat grass-fed beef.
And the fourth one could be resolved if vegan faggots would quit bitching and plant some goddamn trees or sumthin'.

imported rainforest fodder is the only answer. all cattle doesnt live in miami or california

why do you faggots think that water disappears when it is consumed?
>>
>>72064320

What are you on about? While I'm willing to believe grass won't grow in the winter where you live; in my State we have cool-season grass that can grow most of the winter.

And even then, everyone here uses baled hay (which is just rolled up alfafa and grass from the summer) to feed their livestock. The big "factory farms" that do use fodder wouldn't even bother importing anything- they just use their shitty GMO Corn and Soy.

No the actual reason is that the price of meat is actually severely under priced and overproduced. These huge super corporations are doing everything in their power through lobbying, lawsuits, secrecy and media propaganda to avoid taking any sort of responsibility or fault for fucking up with the environment, people (health) or energy. .

While people are told to conserve water they pay barely anything from the water they consume not to mention the huge amounts of energy and oil you need to keep the production going.

"Food, Inc." and "Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret" are pretty good documentaries about the subject, latter however has some vegan mumbo jumbo in it so the former is better.

How is it a waste of resources? Marginal utility in a market economy dictates that those resources are most effectively used raising cattle.

Fuck of you dirty commie.

>Water
Returns to earth as cow piss
>Rain forest
Not true Cows Graze grass. And they do not damage the roots underneath, so the grass will grow back (Unlike goats that tear the roots apart)
>Grain
IT WILL GROW BACK
>CO2
Toppest of keks
First off America has extremely clean coal and power plants. The image used is water vapor from the heated water WHICH ALSO RETURNS TO EARTH.
Also CO2 if you have forgotten is what plants breath. Plants can be grown in underground bunkers with enough CO2 and little to no real sunlight(And in some cases can be grown larger than normal plants).


Lastly I am eating Pasta with beef meatballs right now and I wouldn't give this up for the world

Exactly. They don't take in enough protein to develop large brains and higher brain function. Ironically vegetarians like to leverage the brain power their ancestors earned them to be proud of their devolutionary ways.

You can also mention that humans release 0.06% of total green house gases in the form of CO2. It is literally unmeasurable the impact that humans have on the greenhouse effect.

I have 10 cows and 5 hogs. The cows just prevent me from mowing the pasture and my hogs eat all the scraps from the rest of my farm. The whole bullshit about animals taking a ton of resources is stupid and shilljew tactics. I don't use anti biotics or hormones and only use grass that I'd have to cut anyways. The water is mainly rain collection and stream water that I own rights to.

Don't fall from the muh animals use too many resources meme.

>>72063755
I'm in Georgia. It's not really even my neighbor. I live in the middle of Atlanta but one of my co-workers mentioned he bought a side of beef each year from a farmer he knew. I didn't need an entire side but a quarter was enough for my needs.

It's definitely a waste from an efficiency standpoint, but people are willing to make that trade-off b/c they like meat.
>>
>>72062942
Because meat contains biological resources you can't easily get from plants, and the digestion of meat is more efficient than the digestion of plants.
