I don’t know of any other way to put this…
We have land that we dedicate solely to growing food for animals. Not the waste, not land that is otherwise unusable.
That is not environmentally friendly when we could feed far more people by NOT doing that or using less farmland to feed our current population.
Did that make more sense?
I don't think so.
I haven't disputed this
You seem to be by repeatedly bringing up the fact that animals can eat parts of the plants we can’t when it makes up a minuscule part of the equation so I though it prudent to really drive home.
And now I know what part of the problem is give your other comment. I’ve already linked you a study showing how and why we could feed more people on less farmland and I even quoted the important part of it in my comment so you didn’t even have to click.
and I don't find your study convincing
How convenient.
Anyway, if anyone else comes by this thread I feel pretty good about my portion. You made it really easy. Thanks!
the feeling is mutual.
have a nice day!
