All 10 of the largest U.S. meat and dairy companies have lobbied against environmental and climate policies, resisting climate regulations, including rules on greenhouse gases and emissions reporting. This is according to a study by New York University, which examined the political influence of the 10 largest meat and dairy companies in the United States.
Yes it is true, but it still is a moot point because “producing 1 kg of boneless meat still requires an average of 2.8 kg human-edible feed.”
it’s not moot. it’s absolutely true.
I already told you it is true, but it means nothing. Animal agriculture is still an incredibly big part of the problem fucking up the planet right now. I think I have supplied you with enough data for that by now. Maybe read it?
since all of agriculture is only about 20% of our emissions, and we need to eat, i disagree with your analysis.
You can disagree all you want, but climate scientists say it is so:

Perhaps you might want to start citing sources?
neither of those studies support the thesis that it’s “mostly animal agriculture that’s destroying the planet”
the study published july this year doesn’t say what the fluff piece says it does. it says production of different products has different emmissions, and those consumed by vegans are lower. it doesn’t say being vegan reduces the more harmful production levels.
why would i? cutting up yours is plenty of fun.
And this is where I stop communicating with you. Maybe you should reflect on why it is so important to you to be right about something that is so destructive to the planet. Something you want to deny, but don’t want to supply any sources for. While at the same time every comment I have written you is backed by sources. You’re an asshole.
i just AM right. if i were wrong, i’d admit it.
i don’t need to provide any sources, since you haven’t actually provided any sources that support your claim.
You’re an asshole.
it’s cute that you think i dont read OWID
