I'm sure the lamb is delicious at the dozen or so restaurants and butchers in which it is sold for a high price.

When you're talking about scale, feeding 10's of thousands of people, plant based food sources win out.

New Zealand is the world's third largest producer of lamb, what do you mean by "scale"? This is done at scale.

Without those animals, that land would have been literally useless for humans to produce food.

'Dozen or so'? You can get a lamb roast at Costco.

Do you get these high-altitude grazing New Zeeland lamb at Costco? Most lambs are raised in the lamb factory.

Yes, but those are not free-range New Zealand Lambs which have grazed high in the mountains.
