DR. LYLE RODE

• Dr. Rode has his PhD in Dairy Science and Bacteriology.
• These days, he largely acts as a consultant to the livestock feed industry.
• How the animals eat do affect what the cow produces.
  • Butter in the average grocery store is dairy that is pooled together from tons of cows.
    • Kerrygold is a little different.
• In Europe, butter has to be 85% fat, while here, it only needs to be 80%.

THE VALUE OF CATTLE

• On large farms, they may have specific people whose sole job is to take good care of the animals.
• On small farms, there are other pluses, too.
• About 2/3rds of the land we have to grow food is only really fit for livestock.
  • Africa, which has the biggest growing population, is particularly poorly-suited for anything other than livestock.
• Also, cattle is incredibly important for the environment and for grasslands and the like.
• India has about 30% of the world’s cows and the cows there tend to be less efficient.
• Rice produces about 80% of the greenhouse gasses cows do.

PERFECT FOODS

• The closest thing to a perfect food is an egg.
  • You have all of your vitamins and amino acids (but short on a couple minerals).
• The next closest may be milk.
• Meat is so chock full of nutrients and the like.
• So many other foods that make up the bulk of vegetarian/vegans’ diets are lacking in nutrients.
