To be fair, it could be as easy as banning cows and using buffalo for better ruminant yields.

To be fair, that has nothing to do with the current economy, where almost all cows go to feed lots to be fed human food (corn) to double their weight.

Have you travled outside the US? This is not true in most parts of the world, I wouldn't be suprised to see it only being a US practice.

Yes, I've visited several dozen countries, and I assure you that the practice of using feedlots has spread to most developed countries, and is being spread to the less developed world as a way to increase incomes.

Don’t they feed the whole corn plant though, not just the grain? I could be totally wrong about this.
