New moral vegetarianism, however, rests on moral arguments couched in terms of human welfare. It is argued that beef cattle and hogs are protein factories in reserve. It is estimated that the amount of grain fed to cattle and hogs in the United States in 1971 was twice that of U.S. These differences aside, is the argument valid?

Besides depleting the ocean’s supply of fish for those animals normally feeding on them, the factory farming of cattle, pigs and chickens uses excessive water and pollutes our land.
