> Don’t we grow food specifically for livestock though? I think that’s the central point of this thread where folks are talking past one a other. In a hypothetical scenario where animals are more or less only eating food that humans can’t, it makes a lot of sense (from an environmental if not ethical standpoint) to include animals in the mix of foods people eat. The impression I get is that in reality, animals grown for meat consume quite a bit of human-edible food (or food that could be trivially replaced with human-edible varieties), although I have no idea of the actual percentage.
