    animals mostly eat parts of plants that people can’t or won’t eat, so in that way they help us conserve resources.

        a third of cropland is literally dedicated to growing livestock feed

        that’s not what your source says. and all of agriculture is about 20% of our emissions, but i’d be fine if it were 100%: we need to eat.

          Twenty-six percent of the Planet’s ice-free land is used for livestock grazing and 33 percent of croplands are used for livestock feed production.

          Dude, it’s one of the first things written on the first page. Come on now, this is embarassing.

            but not exclusively for livestock feed production. it’s not “dedicated”.

              This is what this user posted and embarrassingly deleted before writing the comment above:

              grazing lands aren’t croplands

              If you can’t even be bothered to read a full quote that was handed to you, you aren’t discussing in good faith. You can go ahead and fuck off with your hand wavy non-scientific bullshit. Learn to read a source and provide a proper rebuttal with evidence instead of spamming nonsense.

              Edit: Oh look I broke the spambot lol

      I feel like this is overlooked, that animals eat stuff we can’t/won’t- like grass or discarded food.
