Monsanto soy and chemistry... What do you think cows or chicken eat? Freshly grown grass from Switzerland?

Having worked for an accounting shop specialised in cow farms I can assure you that one of the main bills is antibiotics and food supplements. Also cow food is usually highly specialised.

Out here we have cows grazing on grass. Both on private dairy farms and on government land (ostensibly to keep the invasive grasses in check).

I live in Ireland, we have those too. I think that most of the meat is not like that though.
