If we humans ate it directly, we could get by with growing just 1/20th as much (animals are poor converters of calories), and we would be a lot healthier, as well, by avoiding the antibiotics and growth hormones and the grass fed beef tastes better and is more healthy...
There you go again trying to control everyone else's life. Look, why don't you eat just corn and soy and not try to impose your tastes and religious views on everyone else.
