not many people can afford it so it's a small part of the problem.

If it is a per capita fifty times bigger problem, then that not many can afford it is not really an argument.

What? We either have wires crossed here or I'm going mad.

If (say) 1% of people can afford to have a fish shipped to them then that is  a much smaller problem than the 99% of people having Thai chicken fillets shipped to them. Which problem do you solve first? Which is actually a problem?

If producing luxury foods for one person wastes 50 times more resources than producing cheap factory food for one person, and 1% buy luxury foods while the rest eats factory food, then it's 50 to 99 - two big problems.
