the amount of food it requires to feed the meat we eat is extremely wasteful

a lot of what we give livestock are parts of plants that people can't or won't eat. that's the opposite of wasteful.

Parts of plans that were specifically grown for livestock that we won’t eat, that is. At least a big part.

i'm talking about waste product from our crops, like cottonseed from the textile industry or soymeal leftover from making soybean oil or silage.
