What will happen if cows have never existed on this Earth?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if this familiar animal suddenly disappeared from this Earth?

You will have to go back to the time when history began to be recorded, when the cows did not graze and sided with the tail to chase flies.

You know, after about 10,500 years of domestic cattle were domesticated from wild cattle, the number of cows was up to 1.4 billion. Today, cows have become a source of nutritious food for humans.

So what if all of them disappear or never exist on this Earth?

First, you will be faced with drinking coffee without milk, or will eat hamburger without beef. This is unbelievable for the United States, because the people here average eat over 50kg of beef every year.

To get beef, we need to consume a lot of resources.

But no beef is not a bad thing.

When red meat is replaced by fish, poultry and other plant proteins, human health is also improved.

If the cow does not exist, it is also a good thing for the environment. Cows emit a large amount of methane into the environment, accounting for up to 10% of the greenhouse gases emitted in the United States and 25 times the impact of CO2 on climate change.

Cows also use a lot of other resources, such as producing 0.4 kg of beef, which requires more than 3kg of feed, 200 liters of water, 7m2 of land and 1,036 BTU of energy. However, not because every cow that this planet becomes contaminated.

Although it does not exist, there is no doubt that methane emissions will be lower, but the energy sector is still the most methane-intensive industry in the United States.

Converting the resources that cows use doesn't help much for the world.

If the cow does not exist, the world cannot turn into a vegan planet.

According to the International Food Policy Research Institute, even if the largest and richest nations cut their consumption of meat by half, the number of malnourished children in the world will only decrease by 2%. .

Because cows are often grazed in areas that are not suitable for agricultural production, they do not release areas for other crops. However, the economy will suffer great losses. In the US, beef is an industry worth tens of billions of dollars.

And if the cow does not exist, the world cannot turn into a vegan planet. In 2013, the average American ate twice as much meat as beef.
