no one said we should
the comparison operator is commutative. it's the same thing.
comparing slaves to animals is what slavers do.
the meta-analysis is just one paper, too. and it's bad.
it's actually a tragic state for the academy. no reproducible studies. bad methodology. and everyone citing each other uncritically. it would be nice to have good data on ecology and nutrition, but everyone is so focused on just getting the paper out that no one is trying to advance the science.
this is just an admission that you don't know what the literature says.
I really can't recommend any papers. I don't trust any of them that make strong claims one way or another.
I'm totally out of the loop on the nutritional side of this so I usually stay in my lane. I've read a lot of the lit on the environmental side and I can say with certainty that all the claims made about food production might be true, but the research simply isn't properly methodized to support it.
life cycle assessment. if you read the references in poore-nemecek 2018, you will find that they didn't even gather the studies themselves. they are doing a meta study of meta studies. when you read their sources, those papers talk explicitly about the problem of combining disparately methodized study data, but then go on to do so. poore-nemecek doesn't even acknowledge this faux pas.
We combined livestock production data with average species and product-specific land use data from [12] to estimate species, product and country-specific land use data associated with animal agriculture.
they just take poore-nemecek and plug it into their research. no discussion on the problem of combining disparately methodized lca data.
jesus. here's how i spent the last 20 minutes. this is before even reading the research:
- your link
- i am not even going t otry to untangle the mess of links to find these papers. good luck to you.
- this doesn't seem to even to have anything to support your claim, but maybe you can find something
- the last link you included
i don't think it's true that they're pro-russia, and if the agitprop was true, i don't see the problem with disseminating it.
