Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has started raising cattle.
The billionaire revealed on Instagram on Tuesday that he is focused on developing the highest quality beef in the world. He also wrote that the cattle are fed a special diet consisting of ground macadamia and – beer. This diet, he says, will allow the cows to produce healthy, nutritious meat.
Zuckerberg also revealed that his two daughters, August and Maxima, help him plant trees, thus contributing to the cattle raising. He added that this is his ‘tastiest project yet’.
– I started raising cattle on the Ko’olau ranch in Kauai, and my goal is to create some of the highest quality beef in the world. The cattle are Wagyu and Angus, and they will grow up eating macadamia meal and drinking beer that we grow and produce here on the ranch. We want the entire process to be local and vertically integrated. Each cow eats five to ten thousand pounds of food each year, so that’s a lot of acres of macadamia trees. My daughters help plant that tree and take care of our various animals. We are still at the beginning of the journey, and it’s fun to improve it every season. Of all my projects, this is the tastiest – wrote Zuckerberg.
Of course, his post garnered over 200 thousand views within hours and sparked various reactions. While some joked that the cattle on a beer diet might get drunk, others urged the billionaire to promote plant-based diets instead of meat.
