What protein do you think they feed beef? If you can feed cattle for free, beef burgers will still be cheaper than the fake meet alternatives.

    They feed cows corn, and because the cow's stomachs aren't well evolved to digest corn, they have to feed them antibiotics constantly, thus making cows the number one consumer of antibiotics in the country. I know this because both of these operations are subsidized by my taxes and are therefore a matter of public record.

    Didn't I save your ass from some huge fly just the other day?

    Besides corn they also feed the animals soy. I know this because importing soy protein isolate is cheaper when it's for animals instead of human consumption even if it's essentially the same thing.
