How are most of the original grasslands in the US being used?
Most of the original grasslands are protected by state or federal lands, and are also rented by cattle ranchers to graze their cattle on there for a predetermined period of time to help in the health and growth of these native grasslands. A lot of native grasslands are also on private land, land which are owned by ranchers and used to raise their cattle on. Such ranchers take care of this land so that it supports life not only for their livestock, but also for the wildlife that live on their land.
In the 1800's why didn't the Americans think that cattle ranches in the great plains were practical?
Because they thought it a waste of space for cattle to be grazing on land that had such good soil. Back then, good soil often and primarily meant soil to raise crops on, not to graze animals. Consequently, they didn't see that maintaining the native grasslands of the great plains by grazing cattle on them was practical, because they thought it was a waste of land that could otherwise be used to grow crops on.

Does McDonald's use rainforest for grazing land?
No. McDonald's does not own any grazing land to graze their cattle in--as a matter of fact, this multi-million dollar franchise doesn't own any cattle at all. The reality about rainforests being used for grazing is that they are not used for grazing at all. Rainforests are primarily destroyed for the production of crops and for exotic wood products, not grazing land for livestock. Livestock come in and graze after the crops have essentialled "mined" the nutrients from the soil, eating the sparse grasses that have been sown or grew after the farmers have left. There are exceptions, but this is the most common practice that occurs.
