Unless they want to come up with a comprehensive, gradual and humane way of controlling population levels and eventually phasing out the eating of animal products along with the slow decrease of the population...exactly how do they expect to feed humanity on plants alone?
I'm not even getting into the nutritional requirements that would have to be supplemented, I mean logistically... how are you going to feed the world's population on just plants?
PS: energy efficiency -
Have they forgotten the mass equipment needed to maintain large farms? Unless of course we go back to a sort of serfdom with a lot of manual labor.
I don't care for vegetarianism, but from everything I've read growing plants is much more efficient than raising livestock.
