So even though we’ve let all that pig poop — and cow poop, for that matter — go to waste all these centuries, more of it is being processed to extract methane, the principal component of natural gas.

No we didn't. It was used as fertilizer. Now the fertilizer that is already scarce, is converted to fuel during a man made fuel shortage.
I could not come up with a better ploy to damage not only the food and energy chain, but also the people (we all) that pay for all this double and trice.
Isn't this kind of like arguing that we have a a fuel shortage because so much oil is diverted to produce plastic?
Is it not possible to use "piggy-poo power" to make both fuel and fertilizer?

Yes, pigs grow quickly. They also poop, 24 hours a day, in great quantities. That manure can be transformed into fuel for vehicles.
