it is believable that humans currently consume majority of calories from plants (likely wast majority from white rice and sugar), thought the questions is about animal agriculture land usage, and also how healthy/efficient are those plant calories.

It looks like you've been using HN primarily, if not exclusively, to post about basically one topic. Single-purpose accounts aren't allowed because pre-existing agendas are the opposite of curiosity, which is what we're trying to optimize for. I appreciate that you know a lot about this topic and have good reason to feel strongly about it, but I need to ask you to stop using HN this way because in the end it degrades what the site is supposed to be for. Pre-existing agendas are repetitive and predictable, and that's the essence of what we're trying to avoid here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20optimiz%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20repetition%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

  I appreciate your perspective. My focus on environmental topics is driven by my genuine interest and the belief that they're under-represented here. I've observed climate denial, and given the urgency of these issues, I felt the HN community might benefit from more exposure. If this appears as a single-topic agenda, I'll diversify my posts in the future.
