If you eat a kilogram of beef, you’ll cause about an extra 2 days of factory farming.
I estimate eating 1 kg of beef also decreases the living time of soil nematodes, mites, and springtails by 564 M animal-years for feed crops replacing tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands. Moreover, for this replacement, and my best guess those soil animals have negative lives, I estimate buying beef at a cost of 6.32 $/​meat-kg is 63.8 % as cost-effectice as the Shrimp Welfare Project’s (SWP’s) Humane Slaughter Initiative (HSI) has been.
I do not understand why you are neglecting effects on wild invertebrates considering you recommended donating to GiveWell to decrease their population.
Thanks for the post, Matthew!
