ever heard the term “blue maga”?
i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

the paper does, and it’s deeply flawed. no one should trust these over simplifications of our vastly complex agricultural systems.
that’s without accounting for the feed
it’s not, and the methodology is flawed.

oh that we could convince liberals this is true.

1·10 days agoit is possible to feed a vegan world, and it would actually be easier
it’s even easier to feed a world with no living creatures. that doesn’t make it desirable
We could grow far more food by repurposing that land.
if that were the case, why aren’t we? it seems there must be a good reason that in the over half decade since this paper’s publication, surely we could have revolutionized our food production. instead, even though veganism saw a steady rise from before the publication of that paper until 2020, it’s been in decline since then. somehow i don’t think that paper captured the whole scope of our agricultural system.

this seems to say (near the bottom there) that basically everything a cow eats (52 of 54 units or there about) is either grazed grass or crop residues, with only like 2 or 3 of those units (so about 4-6%, in round numbers) comes from crops grown to feed them. i don’t really know the dietary composition of a chicken or swine, but, cattle, at least, get essentially no direct crops at all.
one calorie of meat requires 6 calories of crops.
ah, but much of the crops that are fed to animals are the byproducts of our own agricultural processes. by feeding them to cattle we get more calories than we would, since we won’t eat, for instance, cottonseeds and corn stalks.
99% of male calves are killed immediately after being born
that’s not true.
I don’t feel that I ever ask you to respond at all. I feel I’ve been right this whole time and you just don’t understand the topic well enough to discuss it. enjoy your vacation.
so long as i can still choose my own actions, i can’t say that other people’s reactions caused me to act in any way.
that has never happened.
