All of the people on earth, including the ones who are starving now, could eat and thrive if the grain fed to farm animals went directly to human food.

And the price of meat and dairy products are artificially low because these animals are fed slop--chicken feces, dead chickens, animal blood, all sorts of things consumers have no idea they are eating when they consume dead animals. And because the animals are so crowded that they would all die unless they were pumped full of antibiotics, consumers are eating medicines also. Oh, and don't forget all the pus you drink when you drink milk! I really don't think most people have any idea at all the way the milk and meat products they eat are produced. I don't think they would eat them if they did.

Your post (bolded portions) is internally inconsistent.

Do you perchance have a citation to authority for the first statement?

Meat supplies amino acids and milk provides calcium.

You need to start shopping at better stores.

Been around it all my life and I eat meat. BTW I ate the berries yesterday and have been sick all day today.

Wouldn't that bankrupt the producers of the grains?

What would those poor unfortunate animals have left to eat?
