Wait, it takes between 3 and 8kg of SILAGE to produce one 1kg of beef.

Remember that 2/3 of what a cow eats is inedible to man. Of the rest, turning carbohydrates into fat and protein is a good, efficent use of the land. Especially grazing cattle, since they are solar powered and move the food to the processing plant using green fuel.

I cannot express how angry I get when I see improper use of statistics to promote a political stance which does nothing but worsen the problem it is intended to alleviate. Makes the proper use of statistics look bad.
