Does that mean half a billion animals fewer are being born too? After all no need for them to the industry.

Exactly. We do not hunt for cows, pigs, chickens or sheep, we breed them for meat.

The point is - people eat less meat therefore are healthier.

woah that leap.

Not only is it completely wrong to assume this based on the OP as was pointed out by many posts it has cherry picked certain numbers and left out numbers such as how cows are almost 20% larger now than they were a decade ago per cow i.e. a 1m killed 10 years ago and 800k killed today would yield the same amount of meat, not also including the advancements in whipping meat off the bones and new techniques of grinding up the eyes and such into hotdogs and meatballs more efficiently.

But you say that people are healthy? if you mean on a global scale you can't even begin to believe this to be true? Human race has never been more unhealthy and you'll find that sugary drinks and cakes rarely contain a lot of meat (sadly)
