    Most of the food we grow goes to cattle (and other livestock. Mostly cattle tho). They consume far more than humans.

      No we do not. 85+% of the grain/food they eat is leftovers from what we grow to eat. They eat what you cannot. Stems/stalks/roots. They also drink non-potable water.

      There is a reason a 50lb bag of sweet feed is $10 and drops to around $6 for bulk purchase.
