He makes a good point that there has been an increase in cattle hauling due to drought AND financial conditions due to the loss of employment (including the loss of ranch help) due to the fakedemic. Truckers were extremely affected as well due to changes in requirements, such as jab to cross a border, so it is likely that there is an influx of newly licensed semi drivers. It takes a minimum of two years to become proficient in driving these rigs. (I sometimes haul horses using a Freightliner and my stomach is in knots most of the time due to the length of time and distance it takes to come to a stop and swerving will cause jackknife conditions far too easily. Most idiots in cars have no idea and will actually jump out in front of you because they donāt want to wait and have to get behind you.)
Horse trailers are usually divided so that horses all stand facing the same way and are tied so that they donāt move around during transport. Cows are loose in a large open (holes in the sides to assist in air movement to prevent heat exhaustion) which means the trailers are somewhat light in order to move these heavy animals. If you have ever been around cattle, you realize that it doesnāt take much to spook them and when nervous, they poop a LOT of highly liquid manure, so if they panic in a trailer, they can all crowd one side of the trailer and falling under other animals is not uncommon. If the panic occurs while going around a turn, for example, the cattle can literally turn over the trailer. In Australia, where trucks often have a gang of 3 trailers pulled by a single truck, they banned 3-trailer cattle haulers due to the high number of roll overs. The sight of 2 trailers was more than shocking when I was there. That is a lot of moving beef traveling at incredible speeds through the outback!

Beef, bison, and lamb are excellent food sources in that they all have 4 stomachs which allows them to process then store the proteins, nutrients, and minerals they consume. Single āstomachedā animals, including us not so much so.
This is probably why we only ever of beef as a protein source when it is so much more. Eating ābugsā may allow us some protein(s) but theyāll never replace the healthy benefits we get from beef, lamb and bison. Chicken eggs are also very healthy for human consumption. Hence the war on the consumption of these foods. I wonder if the bug eating freaks ever calculated the total output of bug farts? They might be more harmful than what cows expel!
I just had to check and hereās what I found:
"We know so much about termite toots because they produce a lot of methane ā an estimated 12,130,000 U.S. tons of methane each year. Thatās enough to make them a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (though they still lag behind flatulent cows).
In closing Iāll speculate āweāre being led down the garden pathā. But then again, that is where a lot of the bugs live.
