this entire conflict has to be one of very few in history where one side is actively trying to increase the suffering on their own side as a weapon of war and manipulation
this is how all asymmetric warfare works. the Boston tea party was meant to provoke a response.
The raw energy approach is actually quite a good approach by now, because we can use technology to transition most things into each other.
this assumes some sort of centralized economy, instead of letting farmers give wasted apples to their neighbors horses or whatever.
much of the waste that is fed to animals does not have a better use, as you are suggesting. for instance, soycake. no one wants to eat that, but it's high protein. giving it to animals conserves resources.
much of the land that is attributed to animal agriculture is grazing land, and is not suitable for growing crops.
I got a DM to let me play a 3.5e ninja but lie to the party and tell them I was a bard.
