General Discussion

I'm in the UK and factory farming was banned a couple of years ago here.

I do understand how much land is used to farm livestock. My question (which teh poster above you linked me to an answer) was how did that compare to the amount of land which would be required to feed everyone veggies. When people do these comparisons, they tend to forget that the reason we started eating meat was because it was a very efficient source of calories and protein. When people say it takes X amount of land to raise a cow, they always ignore that farming enough veggies to replace that cow is also going to take a lot of space. As I said, the poster above you provided an answer to that.

That said, it is now possible to vat-grow meat which, obviously, doesn't require the same amount of livestock space. It's now a matter of perfecting the technology to make it economical.
