That does slightly paper over the fact that the bulk of beef in the west is raised in massive feed lots
which consume vast quantities of grain which itself requires the extraction of vast quantities of fossil fuels. So cows can't directly increase the carbon from their bottoms, but the beef industry can certainly contribute greatly towards the increase of carbon from squashed dinosaurs.

totally
but that's true of the whole mass produced food industry in general. If we grow our own veg and rear our own animals then cool, but then we can't live in massively urban conurbations and be tragically cool city dwellers and have stupid facial hair and Starbucks and wifi and that. Sad times, Shambles.
