Comment on Who would win: every human in the world vs. every animal in the world?

After we win, we’ll all starve to death. I’m not even saying that we have to eat animals. I’m saying that without animals there would soon be no food of any kind.

I guess this guy’s never heard of humans being omnivores or that you can get protien from certain plants.
I mean, it’s not like we’re in an open system powered by the sun and the only way any of us actually get energy is because plants can synthesize solar energy and then mammals and other types of animals then eat those plants taking the energy they have converted, and now these animals convert energy from the plant into energy for themselves.
But yes, somehow, plants will cease to exist and functionally not be edible. /s

Flowering and fruiting plants generally need bees, birds, etc. for pollination and seed spreading.

The kinds of plants we can eat cannot continue to thrive without animals, especially insects around. The whole system is interconnected.
