Do you really think the majority of slaughterhouse animals are grazing? Grocery store and fast food meat comes from animals that live on corn, soy, etc feed, which is why places like the Amazon are being destroyed to grow crops.

what soy is fed to animals is almost entirely the byproduct of soybean oil production. that is a conservation of resources.
