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.

I never suggested it does. I said eating meat isn’t mean.

they’re dead before they’re butchered. they’re butchered before they’re sold. eating meat can’t possibly be mean. a dead butchered animal doesn’t need it’s meat.

I ran into an issue last night with HDMI failing to be assigned as the audio output. a reboot fixed it but idk what the problem really is it how to prevent it.

Even the soy cake can be used for totally healthy and tasty products

it is. a limited number of people want to eat soy cake, though.

your land use diet link depends on poore-nemecek 2018. it’s not good science and can be pretty much disregarded

considering it’s 80% of the weight of the bean, it’s pretty obvious it’s less desirable than the oil

the oil, which makes up only about 20% of the bean, is about half its value when it’s pressed for oil. we can speculate either way, but we call it an oil press, not a cake press.

a soybean is only about 20% oil, but soybean oil makes up about half the revenue for the beans pressed. the byproduct of producing soybean oil is fed to livestock, but it would be wasted otherwise.

they’re literally counting grassland evaporation from grasses and puddles, and attributing this to beef. this is some hyperbolic bullshit.

85% of all soy is pressed for oil. giving the byproduct of that process to livestock is a conservation of resources

pinker is a very bad guy and we should not be lionizing him for any reason
