what is a better use for grass than to feed cows?

All the feed, water and land that’s required could be used for far better stuff.
And I seem to be more educated on this matter than you, but thanks.

You’re asking the wrong question.

You must be joking at this point. What else can non-arable grassland be used for? What water and feed is spent on ruminants whose only dietary input is grazing? I just have no words.

Most of the times it can be fixed within a year to allow another 3 years of plant based production.
And even if it isn’t, just give it back to nature to do it by itself. It doesn’t have to be used. That’s just some weird capitalistic mindset.
Grazing is a joke. They are still being given tons and tons of water during their lifetime, almost all livestock is given soy based feed that’s fortified with antibiotics, B12 and other vitamins.
“Grass-fed”, “freerange” and similar terms are all moralwashing lies. “Grass-fed” still allows to force feed them vitamins, antibiotics and even hay. “Freerange” for a chicken means 1 hour of sunlight and a little bit extra space, which isn’t even what actually happens.
And people keep crying about giving a cat a nice life but using vegan pet feed which contains all the nutrients they need.
The definition of Hypocrite should have these people as an example.
