> Cows are actually a way to convert otherwise worthless land into food

As someone who lived in a subsistence farm, that's absolutely not true, not on a large scale.

That is true in some places where the soil is not suitable for agriculture and the cows only eat grass, but that would be a minority of cows that exist today.

If that was even remotely true, there would be no cows raised by eating grain.

According to the Guardian almost all cows in the UK are raised on grass, I'd guess this is true for most of Europe
