95. What exactly is your point? That people are not adapted to meat eating?
Then why do we have canine teeth for tearing meat and digestive systems adapted to digesting meat? How does that change with the number of people? I don't see the connection. Some animals can eat grass. People can't eat grass but they can eat animals that eat grass. Most of the earth is more suitable for growing grass than grain or beans. Ever been to Mongolia? I have and I challenge you to go there and then tell me you can feed all of the people in the world without meat. Millions of acres of steppe and about 12 inches of rain a year. Try to grow wheat there and you get about 12 bushels per acre because the little rain they do get comes at the wrong time. But Mongolia has some fantastic natural grasslands that are perfect for grazing animals. Until you figure out a way for humans to live on grass don't tell me that we can feed all of the people in the world without eating animals.
