Vasco Grilo🔸 comments on Meaningfully reducing meat consumption is an unsolved problem: meta-analysis

[Vasco Grilo🔸]

Thanks for sharing! Great work.

Likewise, we encourage researchers to think clearly about the difference between reducing all MAP consumption and reducing just some particular category of it. RPM is of special concern for its environmental and health consequences, but if you care about animal welfare, a society-wide switch from beef to chicken is probably a disaster.

Agreed:

I concluded the harm caused to humans by the annual GHG emissions of a random person is 0.0660 DALY, and that caused to farmed animals by their annual food consumption is 4.04 DALY, i.e. 61.2 times as much. In my mind, this implies one should overwhelmingly focus on minimising animal suffering in the context of food consumption.
