There is pretty strong evidence from skeletal archaeology that early farmers were less well-fed than hunter-gatherers, suggesting that although agriculture supported population expansion by allowing a larger total number of people to be fed, it didn't always produce more food per person.
This is one of those claims, though, that because it is a bit counterintuitive, gets transformed into all kinds of weird unrelated claims on the internet. (Including in this thread.)
