that’s without accounting for the feed
it’s not, and the methodology is flawed.

true propaganda is still propaganda and serves a political agenda.
oh that we could convince liberals this is true.

the sources on that paper are labyrinthine, but i recall pulling up the water use for cattle out of it, and they attributed all of the water used in the production of all the food given to cattle to the production of the cattle, which might make sense if you don’t think about it for even a few seconds more. we know that there are things that we grow that we use, and then discard other parts. maybe crop “seconds”; that is things that we grew thinking we would eat it but we pulled it to early or too late or mashed it up pretty bad during harvest or whatever. we are actually conserving water use by feeding these things to cattle, but it isn’t credited to cattle, it’s counted against their total water use.
that was just the water use for california dairy cattle. if even 10% of the study is done this sloppily, how much do you trust that study?
that image is based on poore-nemecek 2018 which has terrible methodology.
every presidential run is a grift.
and to what end? what is the purpose here? spreading spurious and undisprovable accusations is pointless when people can undermine them just by pointing out the nature of the accusation.
the evidence suggests otherwise
you must support your own position.
the question is whether turning out agricultural waste into ethanol has less of a negative impact on the environment than feeding it to animals. a claim either way must be substantiated.
one bathtub can’t turn all of the worlds agricultural waste into ethanol. surely you have some kind of data to back up your claims though.
Why on earth did you branch out my comment into three different subsection replies in which you say essentially the same thing?
I considered each response independent, and I’m not a huge fan of editing comments
if we are only talking about animals raised on agricultural waste, i doubt it. do you have any numbers to substantiate that?
I don’t see how this is ever going to happen
same way you dictate what food is made, I suppose
the paper does, and it’s deeply flawed. no one should trust these over simplifications of our vastly complex agricultural systems.
