Half of Earth’s population is alive thanks to nitrate fertilizer,

Only if you count the animal torture industry in "the population". More protein is spent keeping cows alive than humans.

    Calories are not protein. Humans burn lots of calories doing stuff animals in factory farming settings won't, such as being living adults that don't lactate kilos per day, or going for a walk, or doing physical labor.
