Conversion of plant material to animal feed, for the resulting caloric equivalent, is extremely inefficient. The amount of land, labor, and resources spent on animal feed is a disproportionate expense in the modern day, as feed and coverage are not grown primarily in a crop rotation, but as desired monocultures themselves.
In other words, the costs of feeding a society (or the average citizen, if you will) a vegan diet, compared to a non-vegan diet, might be more efficient than a very well planned society on a non-vegan diet (as many animal feed crops restore soil fertility, grow in less-arable environments, and have only marginal use for human consumption), but in the current environment of economic incentives, a vegan diet would be immensely more efficient.
I say this as a filthy meat eater who has no ethical problem with eating (non-factory farmed) meat.
that can be true while it's still a fact that no matter how many beans you buy the meat dairy and egg industries continue to grow.
