« on: August 27, 2017, 03:11:28 PM »i think it's important at this point then to note that we don't just eat food for energy, we also eat it for nutrients. if all we needed was energy, we could survive by just eating sugars all the time. like mczealot said, vegan diets have to be supplemented with nutrients that cannot be obtained in sufficient amounts from plant matter, and the process of synthesizing or cultivating those supplements would probably be more economically intensive than animal-based solutions on a society-sized scale. that being said, i'm talking stuff out of my ass here since i definitely don't have the figures to back that up available, but the point stands that it's not as simple as that contention makes it soundof course, but like i said: i don't think the meat industry should be axed entirely. not at all. i think factory farming should come to an end (replaced with free-range ranching) and meat should be seen as less of a staple. your body needs about 4-5oz of lean meat a day, but people eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
it's a super unnecessary amount of animals which need to be slaughtered to keep that going, and we've still got millions of people dying of starvation every year. if a good amount of that land was reallocated for staple crops, it seems to me there'd be less starvation and more healthy diets.
'course maybe that's not as profitable for the big boys

« on: August 27, 2017, 02:58:46 PM »Replacing 10% of livestock with grains would be in no way an affordable substitute. If it was, we already would have done this.are you memeing me
the rule of 10% means that when you eat grass, you get 10% of its energy. if you eat a cow that eats grain, you're getting 10% of the energy from that beef, or 1% of the energy from the grass. it is less efficient.
i never said that we should replace 10% of livestock with grain, i said it would be more efficient, and therefore sustainable, if the land being used to grow crops to be fed to cows were used to grow crops for people. you don't have to clear more land.
also "if it was, we would have already done this" is a more than silly line of reasoning.

« on: August 27, 2017, 02:47:15 PM »Grain isn't a substitute for meat and livestock product. This isn't a realistic substitute.well that's a different question; you said it wasn't affordable. i'm not trying to say that grain is a full substitute for meat and milk. we could be growing tons of other crops in the spaces we use growing grain for cattle to eat. a wealth of crops could replace the nutrition we get from eating cows.
i'm not saying we should completely axe beef from human diets, i'm saying growing other crops rather than depending on beef as a staple would result in 10x as much food as we get from growing beef as per the rule of 10% and be way more sustainable.

how's it not an affordable substitute? we have 10x the grain needed to feed the amount of people being fed right now

« on: August 27, 2017, 02:01:50 PM »The only argument that should be made about inhumane conditions is the argument that unsafe or unhealthy conditions for livestock can propagate disease and bacteria. Until you propose an alternative to livestock slaughter for food output, your opinion is nice and all but we can't really afford to just drop an entire source of food.based on the rule of 10%, we'd get 10x more food if we ate the grain we fed cattle instead of the cattle themselves
If we can produce a cheap alternative to meat and livestock product, we could entertain this idea, otherwise, not really.
