@infobeautiful Most ecosystems need a large grazer species or they go away, and so does nigh-everything adapted to live there.

The human-centric "land area to feed humans" is, well, yet more mass extinction, rather than virtue.

Yes, open-loop farming practices are terrible things and should be replaced with more responsible practices. This is not the same thing as an argument that beef is unbearably agriculturally expensive or that agricultural monoculture is a desirable use of land.

@infobeautiful I want chocolate!
