Question.

Why does it take 99% less of all those things? Is it maybe...gasp... because of no animals required??

Exactly, animals are one of the least efficient sources of food out there. Cows did not evolve to be food.

Really? Then what did they evolve to do? Calculus?

If they're not supposed to be food then why do predators exist equipped to prey on them?

Fact is cows are a high yield food source and that's why they're so relied upon.

And you said it wasn't about the animals, which, it CLEARLY is.

You're really suggesting animals evolved to be food? Lol.

They evolved to NOT be food. Anything that evolved to be food went extinct a long time ago, because they got eaten.
