        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
