So, fttb I would not add bone drops to animals, until crop growth rates have been lowered, animal diseases have been added, animal behaviour is more skittish and/or aggressive and/or a food decay mechanism is introduced. Tbh if all that is added I expect them to drop much more meat than they do now. 1-3 steaks from a cow max? That shit makes me mad, a typical beef cow provides almost 240 kg of meat!

Americans (who eat the 2nd most amount of meat in the world!) eat 100kg in a year! That means that a cow should literally (if preserved properly) feed a person for 833 days!, or feed 833 people in a day!

I'm not saying they should drop a thousand steaks, but they should drop much more meat than they do now sorry to burst your bubble, but americans don't only eat meat, in fact, i'm vegetarian. Kinda ruins the idea of feeding someone for 833 days off 1 cow due to the fact that 100kg of meat would also have large amounts of plant matter as well.

Also, part of why crops grow so swiftly (too swiftly still, escpescially bonemeal which should fertilize soil speeding growth or causing a larger bounty rather than instant growth) is because you can go from completely full to literally starving and dying of malnutrition in only a few hours of sprinting. IRL people run the entire marathon, nearly a day of running for some i believe, and they are not reduced to a state of starvation and malnutrition. No idea where that came from, probably due to altes comment, but whatever.
