       Check out how land is used in the United States. Cows take up the most space!https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-us-land-use/ @sociology

       @conradhackett @sociology Well, yeah. Cows are what you do when you have a lot of land and only a little bit of water.

       @alrs @conradhackett @sociology Or we could rewild the land and grow proper forests on them again? But please show me first that most of that land is not suitable for anything less environmentally harming.

       @alrs @conradhackett @sociology Cows drink a lot of water, more than any other land animal per unit of body weight. 30 to 50 gals per day per head. Age & time of year matter. Loose average is 1.5 gals per pound, double for a dairy cows. Water shortages impact the cows directly and feed supplies. Flooding may impact water quality (bacteria, nitrate runoff etc).

       @alrs @conradhackett @sociology Which is pretty stupid, because the production of beef and dairy costs a lot of water. Plantbased food needs far less water and about 10% of the land. #GoVegan
