If all 6,000,000,000 humans started eating only plants...?
The plant population would deminish drastically, and the animal population would rocket, this would cause a huge imbalance in the food chain causing a collapse.
Right?
Answers:
Wrong! This makes no sense.
The number of plants that must be fed to an animal to produce enough meat for one human is greater than the number of plants required to feed that same human if he or she ate the plants directly. Meat-eaters are responsible for killing 10 times more plants than vegetarians.
We feed so much grain to animals to fatten them for consumption that if we all became vegetarians, we could produce enough food to feed everyone on Earth. In the U.S., animals raised for food are fed 70 percent of the corn, wheat, and other grains that we grow. The world’s cattle consume a quantity of food equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people—more than the entire human population.
