If we eat less beef that means there'd be more cattle just roamin' around doing what cattle do...

Fart!

In other words there'd be more methane gas produced which has the opposite effect - it would be worse for the environment.

They should have just paid me for the research

We won 't employ you as an economist though; old rule of supply and demand - if people didn't eat beef demand for beef would fall and similarly cattle numbers (supply) would diminish rapidly just like the number of horses (especially draft horses) dropped dramatically with the adoption of motorised vehicles.

Of course what we should do is switch from beef to roo meat; Kangaroos don't fart and the meat is leaner and healthier. Only problem is for gout sufferers like me as 'roo meat is high in purines and therefore gout inducing.
