The consequences of a grain-fed-meat diet may be as severe as those of a nation of Cadillac drivers.

Additional quotes by Frances Moore Lappé
For every 16 pounds of grain and soy fed to beef cattle in the United States we only get 1 pound back in meat on our plates. The other 15 pounds are inaccessible to us, either used by the animal to produce energy or to make some part of its own body that we do not eat (like hair or bones) or excreted.
