>does nothing, expensively
Imagine if we used the land currently reserved for vegetables for something else that actually produced calories and nutrition e.g. cows, potatoes, wheat.
Why are so many great swathes of land devoted to these crops that do nothing except end up in a fat HR woman's post-lunch mayonnaise salad? If you want this green slop, grow it in your own garden. It's maddening.

there's already excess food, more corn won't make prices lower since the entire ag industry is fucked beyond belief

We could feed the world 2x times over if we fed all the crops we produce to actual humans instead of live stock.

Except people who eat more vegetables tend to live longer and have less disease than those who don't.
