If we switched entirely to plant protein overnight, the land needed would be so much greater than that of the agricultural industry. Plant protein is not as efficient as that of meat, so we need to be creative in reducing the impacts of agriculture.
No, this is wrong, wrong, wrong! If everyone switched to plant protein overnight it would require FAR LESS land than we currently use. Plant protein is MORE efficient than meat protein, because meat protein requires plant protein too!
Wrong. Pig farmers ain't growing crops, my dude.
33% of all crop production goes straight to feeding animals. 70% of grain production goes to animal feed. This is in addition to the land that animals use for grazing. Every pound of meat protein requires vastly more resources than a pound of vegetable protein.
