Nothing odd about flagrant hypocrisy, it's part of the brand
During WW2 Germany was making edible fats/margarine out of coal. Similarly, the atmospheric CO2 can be a source of carbon, especially say on Mars. (another thing back then in Germany - ramjet engine using coal in a metal basket as a fuel. The war does put minds to work - radars/computers/nukes on the Allies side also come to mind.)
How would this work?

It would be one of their main talking points if the majority of farmers were black/latino.
Also there's various startups working on casein (milk proteins) produced by bacteria, fungi or even algea. Some solution of sugars + nutrients in, casein rich product out. That in turn useable for many (all?) things animal milk is used for today: cheese, yogurt, quark, skyr, kefir, ice cream etc. Potentially a drop-in replacement for any of those.
Some of this would already be on the market, if obtaining regulatory approval wasn't so extremely difficult & time-consuming (partly for good reasons).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Coal margarine, this protein powder and some vitamins, I wonder how long human could survive on such "diet".
60kg of coal per 1kg of butter. You need about 3kg of meal for 1kg of chicken. 1.7kf of feed per 1kg of edible crickets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer%E2%80%93Tropsch_proces...
