That's quite funny, the part about eating vegans when they're young. I
can barely type, I'm laughing so hard.
As for competing with farm animals for food, I'm pretty sure that
cows, pigs and chickens don't eat leafy greens, nightshades, beans and
lentils, root vegetables and fresh fruits.
No, they eat corn. And more corn. Yet again even more corn. And dead
animal stuff (of their own species, in many cases). And loads and
loads of antibiotics, because they're so prone to infections caused by
eating so much corn (which their stomachs aren't designed to digest).
So mostly we're not in competetion for food.
But again, your comments were very humorous. Thanks for sharing.

OTOH, they do make a tasty snack if you slaughter them when young.
Soybeans is a large part of animal feed, corn hardly has enough
nourishment. One of the problems of the native American cultures was
lack of large domesticable animals, and suitable easily domesticable
grasses. No culture that had a choice would have chosen Corn, and the
only tractable large ruminant in the Americas was, well there wasn't
one.
My understanding was the corn was just fine until European farmers got
their hands on the stuff and removed all of it's nutritional value in
favor of volume growth.
Now, the only nutrition corn has is if you eat corn on the cob because
the butter at least has some calcium in it.
No even the native Maize is poor nutrition, in comparison to just about
every other grass crop. Living in New England we actually have a few
small farmers growing legacy corn and it doesn't have a lot more
vitamins and protein than the yellow stuff you buy in the supermarket.
Just a lot less sugar.
