the amount of land for cows is crazy. and the fact that more land goes to livestock feed than food we eat is interesting as well

But I feel like land for cows is akin to food we eat because we eat a lot of those cows also.

The conversion losses to feed animals is very high. It takes 76% less land for us to subsist on plants rather than to eat meat. Well, actually, that’s the world average, it might be even higher in the US because of its higher meat consumption. I should check the study again.
