I am however, more than happy to eat any number of products that contain corn in various other forms. Because, you know, "feed corn" is just, well, corn, and instead of feeding it to animals, we can give it to humans instead.

> Still, that soybean has a long way to go before its a brick of tofu wrapped in plastic sitting on your grocery store shelf.

That cow has a long way to go before its a bag of meat on a grocery shelf as well. And that way wasted ALOT more energy and resources than the way my Tofu block does.

No, it really doesn't. It's a conscious decision of society that we produce, and consume, a lot of meat.

As I have repeatedly demonstrated in this thread, a huge amount of the calories we put into the production of meat, come from human consumable foodstuffs. We have the production facilities to turn these grains and beans into flour, bread, tofu, canned beans, whatever. We do it every day, on an industrial scale.

We could do so any time to these feedstocks as well. The technology exists, the facilities exist, the infrastructure exists, the supply chain exists.
