Also if more people eat vegetables then more farms will be made. That will lead to even less land for the animals.

Edited by Pendulate: 9/28/2014 12:52:48 PMI assume you are being serious here. We have more than enough crops to feed ourselves (and a good deal of the third world) already. The problem is that most of those crops are being fed to livestock, and the yield is terribly inefficient. 60% of the world's crops and 70% of soy are fed to industry-bred animals. Trophic law means that roughly 10% of energy is converted from one organism level to another. We are feeding livestock at least 10 times the amount of food than we acquire upon their slaughter.

Yes I'm clearly super serious. We shouldn't eat anything because food is wrong.

Animals don't need land, their food needs land, if we eat the food directly, without letting it go through a cow first, we need less.
