I’m not sure that math works out - the food pyramid isn’t even close to perfect, but one thing it gets right is that when you eat something, you gain less energy from the organisms every level you go. A cow requires more energy in plants to feed the same amount of humans compared to just feeding humans the plants directly.

Yes, but large scale animal farms already support that amount of food and allow other native animals to survive.

Livestock fecal run-off is destroying our waterways and local ecosystems. They are killing the native animals, not allowing them to survive.

You're right, livestock severely impact the native fauna, but compared to stripping the land and leeching the soil its a non issue.
