Actually no, because of all the cows they need to keep reproducing to maintain the herds and keep producing beef for the evergrowing population. Plus you have to factor in all the other resources required to get the cattle to maturity and the overall cost carbon footprint-wise to raise and bring to market a pound of beef. Buying that burger just gives the cattle industry a reason to raise even more cattle, not less.
