    The very study that you cite found it uses more human-edible feed than it produces. That is the more relevant figure

    Contrary to commonly cited figures, 1 kg of meat requires 2.8 kg of human-edible feed for ruminants and 3.2 for monogastrics

      That doesn’t magically make it less nutritional than what it requires to feed them. 1lb of meat is not going to be replaced with 1lb of any veggies. You have to eat way more vegetables to get the same amount of nutritional value. Meat is packed with a higher concentration of most of the nutrients we need.

      Do note I’m in no way saying it can replace vegetables, I like my greens, but I’m also not someone who thinks that we can magically feed the entire world on a plant diet.
