I've said before create a better tasting substitute w/o poisoning the consumer. Problem solved!
I wish you made a bit more sense so I could follow along

Yes, out west it takes alot of land to put weight on one cow. New Mexico, western Texas, Wyoming? Not everything is lush prairie. If it weren't for federal BLM land, cattle ranchers would be screwed.

Yes, my point was that IS one expensive cow. Which is why feedlots exist. We don't have enough land to raise enough cow pounds to feed us all, at a price we can afford.

I don't follow what you are talking about regarding hay. How hard is growing hay? Pretty easy, unless you get drought. Hay takes land, too.
