The fact is, eating animals is a wasteful, uneconomical way to
get food. Animals eat huge amounts of plant food, much of which
people could eat (eg corn, wheat, soy, sorghum).(6)
Most of this does not become meat - the animals use up most of
it just to stay alive! (7)
Half of the world's grain and 95% of the world's soybeans are
fed to livestock.(8)(9)
Meanwhile, 20 million people will starve to death this year because
they don't have enough staples like grains and legumes to eat.(10)
Eating meat isn't the only cause of world hunger. But it is
one of the most important.(11)
