What happens when you adopt beef:
At first you think it's more efficient because you don't need to keep all the bulls and old cows alive.
Then you start eating beef burritos three nights a week like an American.
You import angus cows to produce more meat (FYI: dairy is more efficient than meat).
The cows need more water and land than plants. Farmland gets repurposed to feed more cattle.
More water and soil resources used up than when you were farming lentils.
Everyone gets fat eating the calorie dense meat instead of lentils, heart disease skyrockets.
Pollution increases, including cow shit and methane, you smell giant shit lakes when you pass the cattle yards.
Due to more land use, wildlife gets squeezed out.
You would also get little militia brawls between meat eaters and radical hindus who turned on facebook and saw a video of their revered cows getting butchered down the street.
It's just a bad idea.
