Most grazers don't actually destroy anything. They eat a bit of the plant not the entire thing.

Fobo's point wasn't about which parts of the plant get destroyed, it was just about how much food you have to put into a cow in order to get different food out of a cow.

It's a lossy conversion.

Additionally, lots of factory farmed beef doesn't involve grazing. Instead they feed them corn and soy. Factory farming makes up 98.66% of meat production comes from factory farms. 70.4% of beef comes from factory farms.
