May as well buy burgers in the US, since you already paid for most of it through taxes!

Hey mathematician, there are nearly 40 million cows in the US between beef and dairy, times that by 100 hundred, and that means we would need 4 billion acres to sustain them. There is only 2.4 in all of America. You dolt.
Lol. A swing and a miss. Not even close to what I said. Try again. Since your from, Texas perhaps your should see a Dr about concussive brain trauma.
Here's a hint. Divide 40million by 2 cows per acre and you get 20 million. That's about how many acres we need to use to feed every cow in the U.S under irrigated annual crops production. Instead we use around 800 million acres (grassland plus forest).
So 97.5% of the land are we are using to graze cows, we don't need to use. We do it because the government subsidizes archaic agricultural practices and makes it affordable.
Read your first comment goober. You said it takes 40 to 200 acres per cow depending on the climate. SMH.
