For some insights into poultry farming on an industrial scale, read Maryn McKenna’s 2017 book Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Created Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats.
Don’t get me wrong, I love meat. But there is no denying that transforming grain into beef is very energy intensive and produces more methane (farts and burps) than we can presently sustain.
Meat is yummy, the problem is it takes so much green grass and water that it takes away from other foods. Too much all of the time is hardly healthy. Our ancestors had meat sparingly.
