Cherry picking some unproductive crops doesn’t prove your argument against animal agriculture’s impact on climate change. Some actually useful real data: http://www.waldeneffect.org/blog/Calories_per_acre_for_vario...


> Cherry picking some unproductive crops doesn’t prove your argument

It was asked by a previous commenter in the thread to cherry-pick a crop that is less efficient than a cherry-picked animal. It was never meant to prove anything, only to helpfully answer the specific question asked. Trying to change the subject now does nothing to help your cause, which nobody really disagrees with in the first place. Even if you come from a heartfelt place, it is troubling that you did not take the time to read the thread before pushing your agenda. That is not the type of community HN strives to be.


Your point about corn being really efficient isn’t exactly well substantiated to be honest. I totally agree about civility, but I think it’s a bit disingenuous to be pointing fingers. Have a good night.
