What people don't realize is that it is more than just the death of the animal - the grain or whatever they are feeding the animal has to be grown. That uses topsoil. Topsoil regenerates something like 25x slower than the rate we are using it. The U.N. says that on a global basis, the rate of loss is 10 to 100 times faster than that of replacement. So we are only contributing to the impending and eventual food crisis once we hit population limits, waste limits etc.

So we're fucked. Every time you throw away a piece of food we fuck ourselves.
