Feeding calories to livestock and eating them is much less efficient than directly eating plants.

this is largely irrelevant, since most of the plants that are fed to animals are crop seconds or parts of plants that we don't want to eat. they eat, for instance, cottonseed, which we grow for textiles, and soy cake, which is a byproduct of soybean oil production.

aside, plants love spreading seeds. they probably think it's better to grow more of them.
