You are trying to make a very complicated problem seem simple. A lot of acreage in the third world where people could grow grain to feed themselves and their families (without destroying the land) is now used to graze cattle instead, for example, because there is a bigger IMMEDIATE economic benefit.

There are all sorts of international distribution problems, as well. Food distribution is very uneven.

It is definitely true that more people can be fed with grain than with animals fed the same amount of grain (which also causes suffering and degrades the landscape and our souls).

If American farmers are growing too much grain, perhaps they should stop! Perhaps they should feed the grain to their animals instead of feeding them chicken factory farm produced dead chickens and chicken manure, or feeding vegetarian animals diseased animal body parts.

I am not an expert on international agricultural product distribution--perhaps we have someone who will speak up.
