So? Veal is baby deer/cow, yet I still eat it. Food is food.

Some people choose not to slaughter animals for food, given how inefficient it is.

What exactly does that mean. I've never heard of inefficiency in killing animals for food.

I guess feeding them to fatten them, then eating them. You realise that the world has more then enough food right?

To hell with that, we have more grain then we need.

Actually, leaving the cow out of the picture would be a bad thing to do. I know we're just talking about meat here, but don't forget that many items use ingrediants derived from beef by-products. Household examples would be things like floor waxes, upholstry, candles, toothpaste, leather goods, shampoo, etc. Industry and manufactuaring products like lubricants, cleaners, brake fluid, asphalt, molds for plastics, and printer ink come from animal by-products. Many pharamceuticals come from cattle hormones. You can't just take cows out of the picture. They're part of everyday life.

What's the going rate of death by starvation or illnesses related to malnourishment?

Have enough grain? You might. I definitely do. That cannot be said for all people.

There's enough grain in the world for their to be production of cows. The only trouble is, we can't ship it, or we would completely destroy the grain of those other, more primitive countries.
