Where are you getting your information?
The majority of all the plants that humans grow are fed to livestock. That's just the fact of the matter. It's not conserving anything, rather it's incredibly wasteful. Human food crops could have been grown instead, on a fraction of the land.
And again, you don't really give a shit. It wouldn't change your behaviour to discover you are mistaken, it's a disingenuous argument. It's sophistry.
this is a lie
human food crops are grown. soy is a great example. about 80% of soy is pressed for oil, and the byproduct is fed to livestock.
