    For an idea, one of the studies they use to claim that it wouldn’t reduce emissions much assumes that if we switch to plant-based diets we’d still produce 100% of the animal feed we do and be eating over 4700 kcal/day for some reason. Despite that insane assumption, it still finds a reduction of global emissions which really says a lot about just how inefficient the industry is.
