You can eat fruit or nuts if you want to, but you don't because dragons need the protein more than others." "Also, agriculture includes the raising of livestock like cattle or sheep."

This causes easy access to anyone within a certain proxy, hence why there are so many people in big cities. More easy access means better nutrition and healthier lives.
