See the vegetarians don't mention this fact when they are trying to get everyone to be vegetarians.
That's where you are disastrously wrong. You need very much less land to produce nutritionin vegetable and fruit as well as grain form than beef.
However, you are able to produce both meat and milk from land that is ill suited for growing vegetables.
But the main meat industry and the grain/hay used for the meat production is however grown on land that is perfectly useable for vegetables, - and much of the corn could be used straight for human consumption.
Normally about 5% of the calories coming from the land, deliver themselves on to the consumers plate as a steak. In the case of milk, much more though, 20% if my memory serves me.
It's true, but again, as a beef producer I hate saying it
