Wasted Resources

For every 1kg of animal protein produced, livestock are fed about 6 kg of plant protein1.

 At present, the US livestock population consumes more than 7 times as much grain as is consumed directly by the entire American population—enough to feed the entire human population of the country 5 times over2.
