It seems like this doesn't take a holistic look at it. For example, is it including all the energy (and water, and land, and, and, and...) that the food animal is consuming? I very much doubt it. Animal agriculture, direclty and indirectly, is now consuming 35% of the world's ice-free land, huge amounts of our grain, and tremendous amounts of our fresh water.
