I've never heard that myself. I have a hard time believing it really. Do you have something I could read on that?

More trees in neighborhoods, more structures to serve as habitate for wildlife within populated areas [these all being native to the neighborhood's location] and overall city planning that's both pedestrian/bicycle friendly [thus reducing the fuel usage and risk to said wildlife. Hell, I picture skyscrapers side by side with redwoods in California and just as much forestry amid other major cities, so much so that without being a hundred feet up you'd not know the difference.

Except for the skyskrapers,those are all great ideas. But what do those things have to do with raising cattle without feeding them grain?
Oh, I'm sure the number's reasonably accurate, but that's not my point at all. It's the means of raising animals for food and which animals we used based on our geography. Sure bison don't take shit the way domestic cattle do, but if people five hundred years ago could work around that without the use of steel what the fuck's stopping us?[/quote] Bison shit ? I dont get what you're trying to say with that one.
But anyway, like I keep saying, people 500 years ago were hunter gatherers....people today are consumers.MASS consumers at that. People 500 years ago raised and hunted animals for survival. Our society is completely different. Barring some sort of disaster, I dont see how we can go back to that......
