America ought to think about that question deeply. Corn fed ground beef in the supermarket is $3-4 per pound while grass raised ground beef is $7-$9 per pound. We (Americans) are making ourselves very sick with degenerative diseases (cancer, heart, alzeimer's, dementia, arthritis) at rates orders of magnitude larger than our ancestors. I believe the race to make cheap food (corn feed beef in this example) is causing health suffering on the backend (degenerative disease)
and a less active lifestyle. and more consumption of processed foods in general. Even if McDonalds started using 100% grass-fed beef, I don't think that would make much difference in the overall health value of a Quarter Pounder & Fries.

The rate of those types of disease being higher are maybe also a consequence of a longer lifespan.
