Ahh but you see you're missing my point. We can raise livestock on poor soil such as is commonly found in places like Wales and Scotland but we cannot grow many if any crops there. Sheep will happily live their entire lives eating grass humans won't.
It takes a lot of vegetation to raise a pound of meat. If you think the animals are all eating grass that already happens to grow there, and that many acres of farmable land aren't used to make food for livestock, you're very uninformed. There's also the issue of the livestock themselves poisoning the soil and nearby water supplies. And those are just a couple of problems.

EOFF: where the playground retorts you learned in the 1st grade are still perfectly valid arguments.
Damn right.
