Cows are grazing animals. When they are fed grain/corn diets, e coli 0157 develops in their gut. However, if switched from a grain diet to grass diet, they shed something like 90% of this bacteria in just the first week. Furthermore, the reason the beef industry leaves such a large carbon footprint is because of the extensive farming it is required to grow the grain/corn that they feed the cows. Grass-feeding cows eliminates this problem. However, grazing can also cause environmental damage and ecosystem disruption, particularly over grazing. Sylvia,
