that’s not going to help

eating meat is absolutely justifiable.

you are putting specific terminology in place of the words as written,and claiming it’s a clear connotation, when it is not

federated not Facebook

I use a lowercase c because I’m anticapitalist

she already rejected it before the article was published. it’s in the article

Jill rejected the endorsement, unlike Harris

for individuals who pay retail price for all their food. people who get free meat or dairy or harvest their own are not a party of that study. it applies to almost none of the poor people in the world, including the UK and Europe

no single raindrop is to blame for the flood, and poore-nemecek is scientific malpractice. I wouldn’t trust that paper to tell me the co2e of co2

It is super easy to stop buying from animal agriculture, you simply decide it by yourself and buy a different thing next time you shop for groceries

and it is entirely ineffective at stopping the growth of animal agriculture

it’s something that we all want

a lot of people don’t want capitalism

If we’d eat only plants we’d solve 25% of the climate crisis over night.

you are exaggerating. all of agriculture is only about 20% ghge

your attack on my style does not address the substance of my objections. it is pure sophistry.

I’ve read the paper, seen absolutely nothing wrong with it

I’ve read it too, and enough of it’s references to understand that LCAs are not transferable between studies, and so all the LCA analysis must be disregarded.

I also have looked at enough of the source LCA data to understand that much of the water and land use (and GHG emissions) attributed to animal agriculture is actually a conservation of those same resources, as they come from second-and- third uses of crops.

the only attempt I could find to debunk this paper was from, again, a disinformation outlet whose lies are explored in that AFP article

their objection had nothing to do with mine

but we DO make tofu and tvp. and they have higher profits per pound than animal feed. but we produce far too much soybean oil for the amount of byproduct people want to consume. giving it to livestock makes sense

Or is your source just a shitty, Z-tier disinformation outlet called “Farmers Against Misinformation”

your link doesn’t seem to align with anything i’ve said. are you sure you used the right link?

Is your entire purpose on Lemmy to spread anti-vegan, pro-animal agriculture disinformation?

this reads like pigeonholing. my “purpose” is to keep conversations honest and challenge bad science and reasoning.

the authors’ original findings that dairy is abysmal for the environment when compared with the alternatives

cannot be substantiated with the methodology used in this metastudy.

link to the academic paper refuting it.

seems like an appeal to authority, but i encourage you and anyone interested to look into how LCAs were abused, and how much cottonseed is weighed in the water use and land use of dairy milk, despite cotton being grown for textiles.
