people definitely eat alfalfa sprouts. to be clear, i didn’t say no land is used explicitly for feed, but much of the land that is used for growing feed is actually growing some crop that will produce multiple products, with feed being only one of them.

Yeah, I like alfalfa sprouts too. That’s not what the fields here are full of though.

It’s not my lived experience that it’s all or even mostly byproducts. Unless you have hard numbers, that seems like the meat industry equivalent of “the climate has always changed”.

dig into poore-nemecek, and you’ll find onions are part of the feed crop.
