  • for individuals who pay retail price for all their food. people who get free meat or dairy or harvest their own are not a party of that study. it applies to almost none of the poor people in the world, including the UK and Europe

  • the more I dig into this paper the worse it gets. it's calculating inputs from feed and land use change. this is as bad as poore-nemecek. but it's not even using data from the operations, instead it's just guessing.

    no one should take this paper seriously, except academic rhetoricians who need to show their colleagues how the trappings of science are used to spread claims without evidence.

    edit:

    page 65: this report is an extrapolation based on ivanovich et al, which itself is an extrapolation based on poore-nemecek. this is bad science built on bad science.

    I'm totally open to the claims that are presented, but the evidence used to support it simply can't do that.

  • I've read the paper, seen absolutely nothing wrong with it

    I've read it too, and enough of it's references to understand that LCAs are not transferable between studies, and so all the LCA analysis must be disregarded.

    I also have looked at enough of the source LCA data to understand that much of the water and land use (and GHG emissions) attributed to animal agriculture is actually a conservation of those same resources, as they come from second-and- third uses of crops.
