    Is it chicken farmers we need though? Growing chicken takes more food than it produces.

      You’re not wrong, though chicken is at least 10x better than beef, and “only” 10x worse than plants.

      Edit: just realised I gave relative carbon costs, not just the feed costs, like you referenced. Apparently from a feed perspective chickens are 2:1. And Beef is 7:1, so yet again beef is the bull in the china shop.
