I&#x27;m surprised Gates, for all his work in this field, has failed to recognise that we&#x27;re burning up more food growing cattle and farming animals, than if we were to just eat the plant resources we use to feed the animals.<p>It&#x27;s mathematically crazy that, during a mass shortage of food in some parts of the world, we&#x27;re feeding a net loss of food in order to eat animal produce.<p>He&#x27;s even insane enough to support getting more meat, dairy and eggs to Africa, instead of just bringing the nutrient filled crops.<p>With his attitude about energy and carbon footprint reduction, there&#x27;s no way, India, China and Africa live sustainably on a meat filled diet.
