That's okay, we can change that! Be the person who posts and interacts with the community. :) the same thing happened on reddit once upon a time.

You just shared an infographic which showed that animal feed accounts for 76% of global soy production vs only 20% for direct human food. The point we were discussing was that eating meat is a less efficient use of land which appears to be supported by what you shared.
Judging by the other comments and profile, it's clear that you're not trying to have a discussion in good faith and may be a troll. I'm not going to engage further.
No. Most cows do not because most cows are not free range.
As anybody who has spent time working on a farm can attest, whole corn and soybean are some of the primary cattle feed. The majority of all soybean grown in North America is used as cattle feed and corn is a large market segment. The reality is that meat production uses far more land than plant-based alternatives, even adjusted for caloric output. You don't need to believe me as this is a well researched topic and you can find reputable sources for yourself.
To be fair, meat requires tens of thousands of pounds of plants used as feed over the lifetime of the animal (in this case, a cow), which also requires transporting the feed, pumping water to the crops for feed and for the animals to drink, etc. Unfortunately, there simply isn't enough land on earth for all animals to be free range.
Is here any kind of caulk to be aware of to avoid electrical fire hazard?
This is great!
It's a substitute for chemical fertilizers which would otherwise go to landfill. It also improves soil quality rather than producing dead "dirt" that is dependant on chemical fertilizers. Plus, no more transportation involved in disposing of the food scraps to landfill, producing and packaging fertilizers, etc.
You can use it for any kind of gardening really, including growing your own veggies and herbs.
Finally, it reduces food waste by recycling food scraps rather than sending them to landfill when they could be used to produce more food or replace more energy-intensive fertilizers.
Already halfway there, so I'm looking into composting options now since unfortunately they don't do pickup in my area. :)
I like it! For those who do not have municipal compost bins, is it possible to compost leftovers indoors? Perhaps on a balcony (without attracting pests)?
Heck yeah! Thank you, friend.
