The beef industry is way behind the PR curve. As a small time rancher in South Texas for the past 45 years I can tell you that it takes about 5 or 6 open acres of grassland ,with plenty of rain, to support one cow and calf. There are no pesticides, fertilizers or anything else used along the way. The cattle turn grass into protein. If you are getting your protein from soy beans note that you have to call Monsanto to bring nitrates every year or you can't even grow weeds.
We like impossible beef. This is from the impossible beef website:
Heme is what makes meat taste like meat. It’s an essential molecule found in every living plant and animal -- most abundantly in animals -- and something we’ve been eating and craving since the dawn of humanity. Here at Impossible Foods, our plant-based heme is made via fermentation of genetically engineered yeast, and safety-verified by America’s top food-safety experts and peer-reviewed academic journals.
We started by extracting heme from the root nodules of soybean plants, but we knew there was a better way. So we took the DNA from these soy plants and inserted it into a genetically engineered yeast. We ferment this yeast (very similar to the way Belgian beer is made) to produce heme
Most soy beans are grown for animal feed. There are plenty of great protein sources besides beef (and other meat) and soy beans. Feedlots, with their billions of cows belching methane, are a not insignificant factor in man-caused climate change (not that all meat is raised on feedlots or in inhumane conditions or with chemicals). I won't go into water use per gram of protein for meat vs plants and etc. Regardless, many of us don't eat meat and we don't need a substitute. If you want to eat meat, eat meat.

Monsanto is banned in France.
it should be banned here--but they are big doners to political entities.
I didn't know that.

Whatever happened to the family farm? Destroyed by bankers and corporations.
