    I thought they were making a joke that insects are part of the family and animalia and therefore you’d have to kill way more insects than you would traditional farm animals.

      Oh I know. My point is that traditional farm animals basically don’t exist, in the same way that manually harvested grain doesn’t really exist anymore

        Traditional animal farms, or tradional farm animals?

        The former is how we used to farm animals with lower density and free range, the latter is animals that have historically been bred and raised for meat; pigs, cows, etc.
