Most food produced is fed to livestock. There are ten captive animals who never go hungry for every human being. If we can feed all of them no matter what, we could certainly feed human beings if we chose to.

Realistically, we have enough food to feed everyone without doing that, but I get what you're saying.

Ah, so we just need to feed all the humans like livestock, problem solved!

From context I gather that you think that would be bad, but for the life of me I cannot see what you think the problem is. An acre of fertile farm is an acre of fertile farm (largely).
If we simply stopped feeding that food to livestock, we would be so overwhelmed with food at current production levels, it would be less than worthless. We would have to cut production several fold. We would have massive crop surpluses for industry and consumer products.

Well yeah, but if we had a system of equitable sharing of resources, how would the oligarchs hoard more wealth and power?

That sign has Soviet Union written all over it!
