farm animals In the USA, 80% of corn, 95% of oat are also fed to farm animals Cereals and soy produced in the USA could sustain a population of 1.3billion. Globally, all food fed to farm animals could sustain the entire Earth population Land used to sustain 10 meat-eaters is good for 200 vegetarians.
