and the feed grown “for animals” is largely a byproduct of plants grown for people. it’s incredibly dishonest.

this is (at least partially) based on poore-nemecek. it’s bad science gaining entrenchment.

I derailed any possible discussion about “Plants feel pain” before it ever came up

it seems you strongly prefer to attack things I haven’t said than to deal with what I do say

I can’t eat corncobs or stalks. feeding it to cattle so I can eat cheese and beef is a conservation of resources

none of what you said addresses the facts that I raised. you are attacking things I didn’t say and positions I don’t hold.

Here have a look at some frail vegans, while the world burns, mate:

your dunk-brained links to Reddit are not getting clicked

the same crops that feed animals feed people. they eat fodder and industrial waste from the same fields that produce food that people eat. it’s a conservation of resources.

how do you measure crops if not by crop calories?

what I’m reading is that I’m right, and you would like to shift the discussion to land use

Universal suffrage, abolition and gay marriage didn’t just suddenly came out of thin air because corporations and governments decided to become nicer

of course not. it was people advocating for their recognition as fully human

How are the corporations and governments going to change if one person doesn’t commit the first action of doing better and inspiring others to do the same.

didn’t you already try that

thank you. I already had a cart built but you made me pull the trigger

I just want people in c/science to stick to scientifically provable claims

this is a science community. it’s reasonable to expect people to provide good science.

you can’t prove that plants don’t have feelings.

this is just more poore-nemecek, a paper debunked by its own citations

If everyone made an effort we’d live in a completely different world almost over night.
