That literally makes no sense. You're saying the most resource efficient population on the planet is somehow consuming more?

What kinds of food do you think animals that get slaughtered eat? Do they just live off of air, water, land, and sunlight like plants do?

Most of our food resources goes to feeding these livestock animals to the tune of 70% in the U.S., not to mention a large majority of our freshwater supply (up to 65%+ in some countries, which is more than all the water we use at home for showers, washing dishes, watering the land, and drink).

Plus plants regrow easily. When you eat a fruit or a seed, the plant that gives these resources doesn't even need to die.

Like I said, I spend just $4 a week living mainly on beans and rice. It's 50 cents a pound for beans, or roughly 3500 calories per dollar. Rice is cheap as well. I live cheaper than anyone else I know in the U.S., I live in a very wealthy area where people here can spend $40+ a day, whereas literally $15 is like a month's worth of food for me.
