1. Not only that, but herds of cattle that are allowed to roam freely fertilize the grasses and restore them. They move around so that they don’t eat where they left their waste until it’s all absorbed. Herds of cattle, left to behave like wild cattle, restore grasslands that have been written off as lost. Reference the TED talk by Dr. Allan Savory.

   A ruminant biologist who talks about this all the time says,

   “Human beings exist because of ruminants. Today’s societies rely upon them. Humanity’s future depends upon improvements in the productivity and efficiency of worldwide ruminant animal agriculture. Like the general public’s confusion of what constitutes a “healthy diet,” tremendous misunderstanding exists regarding the environmental role of ruminant animals. Human beings didn’t evolve to eat meat, they evolved because they ate meat – and because they learned to cook and process meat and other foodstuffs. Unsurprisingly then, diets rich in butter, meat and cheese have been shown to promote human health and development. Of significant worldwide impact, such diets can correct the symptoms of metabolic syndrome, offering hope in arresting the current worldwide epidemic of chronic diseases.”
