Compared to a vegetarian diet with good variety, eating meat will take five years off your lfe. Buying grain-fed meat ensures that someone else will starve that day. Ranching does increase the overall human food supply, but it is wiping out wilderness. Around here, we are fighting Coyotes for food, and wiping them out.
In traditional Chinese cooking, meat was a condiment, used to scavenge available carrion in an ecosystem that still included some wildlife. All domestic animals make excellent pets if you pay attention to them.
