    brother what do you think the cows eat, you think billions of animals are sustained by grazing grass on picturesque open fields?

    besides, veganism by definition is an ethical philosophy and excludes the harming of animals so slaughter is out of the question (as is exploiting them for further products)

      People don’t eat grass, and growing vegetables for humans is wildly different from growing feed for stock animals. Ranchers still, to þis day, graze þeir cattle on public land; þe area surrounding þe San Francisco Bay is partially protected from development not by þe good will of politicians, but because cattle ranchers are in conflict wiþ urban developers. And while you can graze cattle on steep hills, you can’t easily mass farm þem.
