People eat chicken... People wouldn't just become vegan without GMOs, they'd eat the same food and its price would go up. The US would stop exporting all its soy and asian pork farms would collapse. Without imported food asian countries would not be able to feed their populace.

More than 50% of all major crop yields are using GMO plants.
So far GMOs are practically irrelevant for feeding humans, assuming a vegan diet there is enough land to feed everyone to avoid starvation. If we assume a reasonable amount of meat consumption there is also enough land for that.
I don't know why GMO advocates throw the "but everyone will starve if you don't buy my proprietary products" slogan around as if that makes them look less manipulative. It is supposed to delude people and prevent them from thinking for themselves.
