    No we do not. Provide a source that shows we grow crops directly to feed livestock in any meaningful amounts.

        Yep, and that 36% is dead corn that the gov tells farmers to grow, they pay farmers to grow it so we don’t have a famine. The majority is sold over seas and turned into ethanol. The rest that we eat is mainly HFCS. So no we don’t grow it directly to feed animals, it’s grown and not used, so the stuff left in the fields to dry is harvestes whole and tossed into grain.

          You keep trying to have it both ways. You’ve finally conceded that there’s 36% of land used to grow livestock feed. But now it’s time to shift the poles somewhere else. At least you’ve started reading and trying to back up what you’re saying.
