Sometimes it seems like the idea of eating meat or raising livestock has a target on its back. People that want to continue to eat nutrient dense animal products are vilified with the modern mantra suggesting that all meat is bad all the time. However, there is a massive pushback happening against that narrative. A number of top selling books and documentaries have been coming out over the last 10 years to say “it’s not the cow, it’s the how.” In other words, how the animals are raised makes all the difference in their environmental impact. There is now a critical mass of people acknowledging that grazing animals are not only permissible, but in grassland ecosystems they are actually required to keep these biomes healthy.
