Blame game as in you are making this is "don't point the fingers at China since we are doing it ourselves behind closed doors" argument. This is the same as closing your eyes and ignoring the problem by saying hey, there's enough of a problem here that it mitigates the mania caused by a story such as this or makes people hypocritical or ignorant to reality.

Honestly, I don't see a problem in North America and in Europe. I'm fine with the western industrialized food supply chain. It is brutally efficient. Believe or not, farmed animals are a renewable resource! Waste is not an issue for me whatsoever (conservation however is). I don't know why it is such a big deal for you. The food and livestock and clothing industry in Western nations is extremely efficient just because they can make money on every last byproduct and scrap they can salvage.
