An even greater portion is distributed as animal feed. In fact, 1/3 of crop production is fed to livestock at about a 10:1 calorie conversion.

I also don’t recall anyone saying this change would have to occur immediately, it would obviously be a gradual transition.

How much of that food is fit for human consumption? It’s disingenuous to pretend animal feed is equivalent to human food.
