Most beef cattle used to be fed simply by grazing in fields, which allowed them to be pretty lean and a lot more healthy to eat.
I think more cattle are put into smaller areas of farmland, with little room to roam and less grass to eat. So farmers are giving them more corn-based feed, which definitely affects our own diets, of course, in a less healthy way. So, in a sense, they are being forced to evolve in this case. And not many people or animals are benefiting. |
