Crux of the argument comes from Earth being a burnt out husk of a planet after the invasion and that she is dextro amino acid based species. This means what animals or plants that are surviving on earth she, nor Garrus, nor the tens of thousands of other quarians and turians can eat since it is all levo amino acid based. And they probably will need to go to ground eventually since ship-based food stores won't last forever.
