They can't grow enough food for everyone where they live.
*sigh* Do I HAVE to explain this EVERY time?
Anyways...
12 pounds of grain is equivilent to one pound of beef.
All of the food you feed the cow is 12 times more food than if you killed and ate the cow.
If you ate the grain, you'll have 12 times more food! Plenty to give to starving african people!
The world would have at least twice if not much more food if you didn't eat a cow. Eat a plant.
Besides, all meat has poop in it, plus blood, hormones, toxic chemicals, antibiotics, and other stuff like that.
Meat also contributes to 50% of all heart disease and about 30% of heart disease.
Obviously we shouldn't eat it, and if you want to blab about "I won't get my protein!" you already get TOO MUCH protien if you eat meat. You CAN get enough protien from plants, nuts, and beans. You don't have to eat tofu.
