Bit like those suckered in by the BLM philosophy?

Good thinking Spidey.

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshipping.

Of course you could keep cattle solely for the purpose of grazing without killing them at a few months old. Many herd of cattle are never given the luxury of grazing but are reared in intensive farming units both here and in the US without access to pasture.

How long till animal lives matter

Keep the rare breeds for grazing, I value them but don’t eat them. Just my thoughts
Bit like horticulturists growing rare varieties of plants, to preserve them not destroy them. As my grandfather ( a keen gardener) used to say “if you love them, keep them for fun”

Steroids in American cattle feed. America currently ranks 12th in obesity of countries of the world. However, you have at look at the sample size and distribution.
Much smaller countries rank higher than America.
There are many contributory factors. A lot of Americans live in relatively poor conditions, and do not have access to a varied diet.
However, the country that gave the world McDonalds, Wendy's, Subway, Burger King cannot swerve the fact that 'fast food' has ruined a lot of the world's population's diet.

Animal welfare/consumer welfare seems very low on the USA's agenda.

However, let's see what China comes up with ,...
The Chinese take-aways food in England in the 1970's and beyond, were saturated in Mono-sodium Glutomate.
(a flavour enhancer, which increases appetite)
