If you look at the land usage for animal products and compare it to their calorie & protein supply, the story gets even worse.
In short:
Of all agricultural land, ~77% is used for meat/dairy production.
This 77% are responsible for only 18% of the calories and 37% of proteins, the rest comes from the plants in our diet.
The numbers may vary a bit, but the scale stays the same. It's ridiculous.
