Cows are naturally herbivores and live on wild grass and other plants that grow in the areas they live. In fact most cattle are fed grass in “cow-calf” operations prior to being sent to feed lots. These natural grasses grow without any assistance from humans; so no added costs for seed, fertilizer, or processing. Grass fed beef is a higher quality product that takes only six more months to mature than corn fed beef. Our nation moves toward a demand for quality, healthy beef shown by an increase in sales for grass fed beef from local farmers and organic grocery stores.

Domestic animals like the cow, sheep, and goat are the major sources of fertilizer, meat, milk, and fuel for fires. Therefore, herding and farming societies could usually nourish 10 to 100 times the amount of people hunter-gatherer societies can nourish. In addition, farming substituted a nomadic lifestyle with a sedentary lifestyle. This permitted farming societies to give birth and take care of more children, and support specialized workers such as shamans, artisans, priests, and scribes. Large mammals were also used to carry people and trade goods over great distances.

The modest proposal is that of the 120,000 infants totalled to be born every year in Ireland, 100,000 would be sold to the wealthy to eat, 20,000 children being reserved for breeding. Johnathan calculates that an infant of 30 pounds would provide food for many dinners and, preserved with pepper or salt, will last well into winter. The price of each child is estimated to be ten shillings providing about eight shillings of profit to the parents. In addition, the skin of the child would make fine gloves for wealthy ladies and summer boots for wealthy

The mayor also helped the farmers earn profit so they can support their families and farms, by setting up stations so they can sell their fresh whole foods to low income families as well. The mayor also set up three restaurants where good natural food was cooked for three meals a day and served about 12,000 people or more daily. They would price the meals at 50 cent; this would benefit people because it saves people from going out and wasting their needed money on expensive unhealthy food elsewhere. In other words Belo Horizonte did wonders for their city and in the long run will benefit in the future from citizen prosperity, economic wealth, all the way to an overall healthy community. Now on the other hand, the US has a long way to go to reach a system like that of Belo Horizonte.
