Eating crops directly rather than feeding cows is far more effective than changing fertilizer source.

cows eat a lot of grass, and usually from land that isn't suitable for crops. the silage they get is mostly parts of plants that people can't or won't eat.

Paltering.

Corn and soy grown for the purpose of large animal feed exceeds the amount of cropland used directly for human consumption in areas where <20% of calories and protein come from red meat.

almost no soy goes to cattle at all. calling me "paltering" while jumping from one segment of agriculture to another is just hypocritical rhetoric. try addressing the topic instead of characterizing me.

I said red meat. Pork and chicken need to go too, but that'snot as urgent.
