#2The portion of the country owned by Weyerhaeuser, shown in the map at the bottom of the article, is astounding. According to Wikipedia they own or control nearly 12.4 million acres of timberlands in the U.S. and manage an additional 14.0 million acres timberlands under long-term licenses in Canada.

#3That graphic at the end is a great way to explain how much area is used for our meat eating habit. Think of all the land which is not being used for... anything else. We are truly ecologically privileged to be able to create such a huge impact in order to eat meat.
Incredible.

A lot less impressive when you recognize most grazing land isn't much good for anything else.

Go look at the land that's being used as open range pasture out west. If it was not being used for grazing cattle, it would not be used for anything anyway.
Most of it was buffalo country two hundred years ago, so it's not like it's really changed.

There's a bunch of grazing land in the bay area. It tends to be really hilly. Not hilly like where we live, but seriously hilly.
Besides, we need the open space. Can't have houses everywhere, this isn't LA.
