The environmental impact of grass fed beef is about the same as the impact of chicken and turkey per pound of meat. It's factory farmed beef that's much worse. And grass fed beef is more nutritious than factory farmed beef.
No it's not at all. Cattle require way more feed which also requires more farmland to grow, produce more waste that runs-off into the water supply and produces methane, and require an insane amount of water. Cows have the WORST feed conversion ratios by far. Also, the FDA term for grass-fed is meaningless. It's basically an idiot tax. Unless you are raising your own cattle, you're consuming factory farmed, pharmaceutical-laden, cancer causing meat. Let's not forget that Big Ag lobbies the government with bullshit the same as Big Pharma.
Did you miss that grass-fed literally means nothing? Let's pretend for a minute for the cows would actually roam around and eat grass when the label "grass-fed" is used (they won't as the industry is free to apply whatever meaning they want), they're just using grass instead of feed, all of the same arguments still apply. Changing the word 'feed' to 'grass' doesn't just make everything magically disappear. Grass-feeding would actually use more water and more acreage. All of this is easily verifiable with a quick internet search so, sorry, but I'm not going to sit around and argue common knowledge.
