- slily 4y agoFailing to control for nutritional quality also makes those numbers very misleading. For example that 37% of protein would translate to more than double that number based on bioavailability for humans, and meat is far more nutritious than grains (and many vegetables).

- ericpauley 4y agoI imagine they're using "our" in the global sense. Virtually no one is truly dependent on meat for protein; the food the livestock eat are probably mostly human-edible and offer sufficient protein on their own. There's minimal nutritional value added by the meat production process.
