About 80% (!) of the agricultural area worldwide is used for cattle - grasslands and plants that are specifically grown to feed animals. It’s not like they eat the parts that humans don’t want, they eat protein-rich corn and soy so they produce meat and milk as fast as possible.
a soybean is only about 20% oil. 85% of the global crop is pressed for oil. the byproduct is what is fed to livestock. but cattle only eat about 7% of the global soy crop anyway. they eat grass most of their lives then are grain finished. grasslands are good.
