They are the Lotus Eaters. It is not believed that they bear any malicious intent towards Odysseus' men; they are just unaware of the consequences.
The lotus makes those who eat it lose their desire to return home, trapping them in a state of blissful forgetfulness. This poses a threat to Odysseus' mission to return to Ithaca, as his crew might be tempted to stay on the island and abandon their journey.
"The Odyssey" by Homer references lotus flowers in the episode of Lotus Eaters, where Odysseus's crew encounters a land of lotus-eaters who feed them lotus flowers that cause them to forget their desire to return home and remain trapped on the island.

Yes. To get a steak you have to spend a lot of energy on growing plants as food for the animal that will become the steak. And animals aren't that good at turning plants into meat, so you have to feed them a lot more than they produce. If you grow plants to feed to people directly instead, bypassing the animal, the same amount of plants will feed a lot more people than the animal did.
