There are inefficient ways to produce food, and then there is animal agriculture.

    Foods from animals provide less than 15% of humanity’s calories

    Literally 0% of my calories.

    There is hope this number will continue to fall for all humans.

    It’s always the same with statistics… It Doesn’t reflect the Reality… 15% is a WorldWide Average. In USA and Europe, it’s probably 40% of Calories. I’m not Defending Industrial Animal Agriculture which is a Disaster.
    Besides imo it’s not that simple : how do you Get EPA/DHA and B12 if you are Vegan? You Have to Take Industrial Supplements…
    If you Eat fish only 2 meals a week like Herrings, Sardines or Macquerels, you don’t need Land obviously and you get EPA/DHA and B12…Most of countries don’t have those Fishes so you must eat a lot of meat or take Supplements as well if you reduce your meat consumption ^^ As well, if you eat small livestock like insects, you need less land and produce less co2/ch4 than a plant based diet !
    Ps : I know, killing fishes is Cruel but the nature is Cruel… Fishes kill other fishes lol
