You think the majority of food we are feeding cows is grass? Also yes mono crops are bad, we are feeding our livestock from mono crops which we would require drastically less of to feed people a plant based or mostly plant based diet.

That is the sustainable way to raise ruminants. Factory farms (both animals and crops) are not sustainable, and need to change.

in particular insects would be about at par with plant based protein sources.

When discussing plant based protein you NEED to account for bioavailability and liebig's amino acid barrel. You have to eat a huge volume of food to get protein in the right amounts

Once again we’re not talking about hyper specific cases that are incapable of producing enough food for the global population (comically so if everyone switched to a carnivore diet).

I made a post about the healthiness of meat, you are on a huge WHATABOUTISM crusade. WE are not talking about the same things, because you keep moving the goal posts. I admit right now only 20% of the global food supply is animal based, that is no reason to give up on red meat - the single most valuable and useful food source on the planet.

Once again we cannot convert our current levels of meat production to a sustainable method short of changing to something like insects or lab grown meat.

Don't forget the current mono-cropping is unsustainable and requires huge fossil fuel fertilizer inputs. This population bomb hysteria isn't productive, and doesn't move the conversation forward in how to improve human health.

So is lab grown meat for what it’s worth but I wouldn’t consider its current capability ready for the global market

Lab grown meat isn't a panacea, we don't know how it interacts with humans. If your referring to plant based meat analogs they are terribly unhealthy and won't work towards human health.

Simply put a plant based or mostly plant based diet is still the all around winner. For feeding humanity and health outcomes.

You have not demonstrated the health improvement on plants, if you have read Dr. Ede's article this post is about you will see why that isn't likely.

I highly suggest the book Eating Animals by Johnathan Foer. Its a very honest and direct look at how we produce meat irl.
