I think that my message was poorly written. I’m really not a specialist on this question so I don’t know if there exists an egg brand that doesn’t produce net suffering. I just wanted to say that the beginning of your post (“I’m not a vegan, but I’ve long felt troubled by the fact that eggs have such a high suffering-to-calorie ratio — higher, by some calculations, than beef”) seemed inaccurate.
Wait, I’m confused now. I said in my post that eggs are higher-suffering than beef according to some calculations, and you presented another calculation indicating that eggs are higher-suffering than beef, so I think we just agree?
Yep, we agree. I meant that the degree of certainty of “an egg meal produces more suffering than one beef meal” is much bigger than your formulation implied. ie : “higher, by some calculations”
