not necessarily. we mostly feed livestock parts of plants we don't or can't eat. so while spinach is human-edible, the spinach fed to chickens is not handled in a way that keeps it safe for human consumption. by feeding it to livestock, we are conserving resources.
that meme that circulated a couple days ago that showed all the ways bumper stickers make you a target is a great illustration. if my name was tied to everything I said online, I wouldn't say anything, since I'd just be making myself a target.
the solution is to spread media literacy, which is a pretty oblique attack on the problem, but it's a lasting solution.
this is just more fud.
