>"This means 40% of the planet’s total habitable land is dedicated to animal products, despite the fact that meat, dairy and farmed fish combined provide just 17% of humanity’s calories." It's complicated. Not all calories are equal, this obviates the fact that those calories may be the main sources of specific proteins, vitamins and minerals etc. that are essential to human health and not easily obtained elsewhere. I get what they're trying to promote but its not a completely valid standpoint to take, and I say this as a vegan. Plus its not something easy to transition from for the majority of people because so many complex systems are involved that are resistant to change for a variety of reasons. Including profit motive and general resistance to change. (e.g. Just think about the amount of time it took the wine industry to move away from using cork even though it was proven new bottle sealing methods were superior.) I still applaud the general idea, and they mention vitamin's, advantages of fermentation etc. later - but this paragraph really irked me.
