At present, yes.
it takes roughly ten pounds of vegetation to produce a pound of meat (substitute whatever weight measure you want), we cannot sustain ourselves on grass, the way cattle can. It also requires fertilizer and, usually, irrigation to produce the vegetable matter we eat. Hogs, fat-tailed sheep, and goats can be fed on garbage. Do you want to cut out the “middle man”?
