Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Our reading

    We know how to make cattle much less destructive; what nobody has solved is how to pay for it.

    Their wordsGive me a degraded pasture and a bunch of money, and even I can probably increase its beef yields 400 percent. I’m just not sure how to make the bunch-of-money part happen.

  2. Our reading

    Since people are not going to give up beef, the way to cut its damage is to make cattle far more productive on the land they already use.

    Their wordsOur species isn’t going to quit beef anytime soon, so we’re going to have to fix beef.
