I have been having a terrible time trying to find out what percentage of the soy and corn crops grown in the U.S. are fed to livestock each year.

Does anyone have a direction for me to head in? Does anyone know where I can find this information?

Also, I need this information for an article I’m writing. People think that bio-fuels are the main reason we are in a food crisis? Try again. It’s because of our largely meat and dairy based diets.

Thanks, I hope someone can help me!

For what you in time of these countries its used while dont have food surplus but they go overseas and theres books about this just want to turn you need to turn you need to feed the first place all to cut back on eating meat for livestock if not used to make even single season of greedy upper crust.
