    70% of global crops are fed to animals.

    no, they’re not. why would you lie about something so easy to find the truth?

          Thats closer to the global number, but local numbers can be far worse. If you look at just the US its under 20% of crop calories went to people. The rest went to livestock and machines.

              I’m being more specific. I dont think it makes sense to look globally. The west can offset a lot of its bad practices if you include the rest of the world that doesnt.

              I understand if you dont care much about this point though.

                this is irrelevant to whether it’s a lie that 70% of global crops are fed to animals
