Beef to survive?

I personally believe that we don’t really need beef to survive because we have other meats like chicken and ham and things like that. After what I’ve read the author has persuaded me to say no to beef because it is causing pollution and it does take up more land. It does state the following things beef production required 28 times more land, 11 times more irrigation water, five times more greenhouse gas emissions, and six times more reactive nitrogen this was my mind changer.

Do I agree or not?

I agree to this article because we do have other meats and the cows do pollute and they need 28 times more land, 11 times more irrigation water, five times more greenhouse gas emissions, and six times more reactive nitrogen. I find we do need cows for milk and dairy products but I think we shouldn’t farm beef that much.

My Summary

In the text they are explaining that cows farts are polluting the air. The text is telling us we don’t need beef or we shouldn’t farm as much as we do. The author is saying that cows take up more space and food and water. This text is also so saying its not that bad to lose beef because we have other meats like fish, chicken, and pork.
