The beef with vegDear Briarpatch: Marieka Sax's message about skipping beef and eating cereal harvests for greater food-energy efficiency has merit ("Skipping a Step" June/July 2006) However, it is not universally advisable. Speaking for many parts of prairie Canada: * The rain shadow of the hard Mountains makes for hot and free from moisture growing seasons, such that cereal production requires enormous inputs and is not universally sustainable. * Given natural drynes and shallow prairie soils, grazing by the agency of beef cattle is a remarkably efficient means of fare production. Actually, there are beneficial reasons for returning many parts of the prairies to grass and for having beef cattle expend a greater portion of their life upon the range, and less in feedlot eating grain. A growing number of farmers/ranchers are doing this--they call themselves Grass Farmers. * Prairie plant and animal biodiversity benefits from grazing. the two too much and too little grazing leads to documented declines in diversity. Studies have shown that prairie biodiversity is higher upon traditional ranches as compared to un-grazed urban-border acreages or nature preserves Sax's advice is upon track, but ignores important detail. It is somewhat alike to crash-safety in cars: larger cars attend to be safer, but if we extrapolated from this consideration alone we'd all be driving semi-trucks. If tribe could tell where and in what way beef was raised, there is advantageous ecological reason to suggest that they should eat more of it.
