We’ve had the capacity for feeding the entire population without animal products since before iron.

We’ve had the capacity to do so with an overabundance of calories that the population keeps growing larger since the Haber process was discovered.

Arguing that we should distinguish between animals and livestock until we can live without animal products is incredibly disingenuous.

Until A, no B doesn’t work as an argument when you already have A.

Edit: I’m not the same person you were talking with before.
