I live in a desert and one of the things people don’t realize is that because it is so sunny here that ag companies prefer to grow grass and hay for animals here because they can harvest it multiple more times per year than in a place with winter. So people talk about nonsense with cattle that they pee the water they drink back into the earth so it is no big deal and the vegans are exaggerating. The fact is the Imperial USA is currently diverting the entire flow of the Colorado river that millions of people depend on and violating treaty obligations with Mexico to denying indigenous people water so that they can grow fields of grass in Arizona which then gets cut and shipped around the world only to feed animals. It is particularly needed for horses and much of it gets sent to the Saudi royal family’s ranching business.
The amount of land and water wasted on feed crops so richer consumers can have their meat treats is astounding. Its just taking food out of poorer people’s mouths.
