that’s not going to help

eating meat is absolutely justifiable.

Care to elaborate?

poore-nemecek is bad science that misused LCA data and drew wild conclusions by, as i said, myopically distilling disparate studies with disparate methodology into discrete datapoints. we cannot rely on this methodology to understand the industry.

Given that 80% of all agricultural land is used to feed and raise animals

that’s not a given, though. about 93% of all soybeans are used by humans, but about 77% of the cropweight is fed to animals. how can this be reconciled? because we press about 85% of the soybeans for oil, and the byproduct is fed to animals. so we can’t say 77% of the land used to grow soybeans is used for animals. 93% is for humans. this myopic focus on distilling all facets of the industry into discrete datapoints fails to understand the system as a whole.

edit:

and it should come as no surprise that poore-nemecek has also infected this link as well.

good science is recognizing that LCAs are not transferable between studies, so poore-nemecek’s analysis must be disregarded.

this is just recycled poore nemecek. it’s bad science gaining entrenchment.

the goal of veganism is to reduce animal exploitation.

the vegan society definition makes no mention of consent at all, only exploitation

Beef and dairy? Causes huge amount of greenhouse gasses and with current methods of production, it is not sustainable
