Also there's the fact that, per calorie, producing beef requires an order of magnitude more arable land than producing <insert-your-favorite-vegetable-here>, since cattle eat so much more than humans do.

Only a small percentage of US beef production is grass fed and worldwide grazing systems supply about 9 percent of the world's production of beef, the rest are crop fed in addition!
