Don’t have access on my phone to the journal article, but there is a correction attached to it. But citing a source doesn’t mean they understood it correctly. And I’m not seeing an Oxford link?
most cows mostly eat grass most of their lives. what silage or other feed they get is mostly parts of other crops that people can’t or won’t eat. counting that water as water used for beef is ridiculous: it’s a conservation of resources, not an expenditure
Cattle is shit for climate change. Probably the single worst thing you can do is eat meat. Why? Deforestation and water use. If people stop eating meat, both of those things plummet, as do emissions.
Yes. Stop eating it. I suppose you’re the type of commie who doesn’t believe individuals banding together can make any sort of change though? That we should wait on our democratically elected officials and not do anything on our own?
That water graphic is not accurate. Not only do cattle drink water, we need to water their crops/feed.
I also have never seen chocolate ranked above meat?
and in the USA, way less than 45% of our meat is also used for milk. Most beef is from males and you dont want to drink that milk.

Their sources are linked including a Science article and U of Oxford database.

This is the Oxford run database: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food
Chocolate is ranked the same here, but you need to turn it on and search for it.
The correction says they fixed the article iirc.

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not lol. This is hilariously wrong. Most deforestation on our planet is for cattle feed. Literally a majority.
deforestation is a totally different metric from water use.
And yet both are tied to cattle. Are you reading?
you’re shifting the goalposts.
