It'll be a lot easier to feed everyone if we grow food for humans rather than cattle.

It seems that optimal calorie output from all our available land involves some intermediary animals that eat whatever humans can't eat.

I agree we're raising far too many cattle, but just wanted to point out it's not very simple.

Depends how you define « optimum ».

For IPCC it’s GHG mitigation and the vegan diet beats them all, while « all diets needs to provide full complement of nutritional quality, including micronutrients ».
