If everyone were starving, dogs wouldn’t even be the best animal to raise.

If you want efficienct conversion of feed to meat, you are going to get way more from poultry or fish. Insects would be probably the best, they convert extremely efficiently. Especially if you consider that they can process things that we cannot necessarily.

If anything, they should be saying that people are having to rely on insect farms. There is nothing wrong with that, I like most insects I have eaten, but you would probably trigger roughly the same revulsion the propaganda is designed to elicit while being far more believeable.
