That chart seems to be more about efficiency in food production than helping things I think. What happens to the cows that would otherwise be eaten? They'll still be alive, eating and drinking, for a much longer lifespan. What are we supposed to do just shoot our livestock off into space?:P (that wasn't a serious suggestion, I'm just suddenly reminded of PIGS IN SPACE)
