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.

this shows that some animal feed in the Netherlands is soybean product and palm oil product. it does not show that most people are getting beef from Brazil

it’s explicable though.

if I can sell a hundred units a month of a product, and 1 units of an alternative product, then I probably get better prices on purchasing from the supplier on the more popular product, and it’s unlikely I can get a comparable discount on the other one. and the labor cost per unit sold on my end is going to be the same, and the unpopular product is going to cost me storage space as well. so to make it worth my while, I need to push the price as high as the picky customers will tolerate.

can you show your work?

it’s a little opaque. can you understand it?

name one that’s not

I’m championing shitting down the war machines. don’t put words in my mouth

how is that calculated?

fascists in Russia and China

all fascists should be removed from power

there are few things that are more efficient than eliminating animal agriculture

I doubt it

all of agriculture is about 1/5 of our ghge, and we need to eat. let’s shut down the war machines before we start telling poor people they need to change their lifestyles

it’s not the exact same comment, it’s another study that poore-nemecek cites.

shun and exile. let him roam the earth seeking shelter and food.

I wasn’t looking for a conversation either. I’m just stating relevant facts

most calves are brought to full weight before slaughter, and artificial insemination is safer than being mounted by a bull

there is more

but they never actually mitigate the differences in methodology between the studies they selected.

it’s absolutely falsifiable: show how the problems of analyzing diverse LCA models have been rectified. they don’t do this, though, they just charge ahead compiling the data.

they temper their own conclusions by pointing out the problems with their methodology. poore-nemecek doesn’t even have the honesty to do that.

quoting their own source material is not an appeal to authority. it’s pointing out flawed methodology.
