How do you do this?

We can’t control who is planting what, we have to make it a choice people want to make.

So we need to move all the farms? How does that work?

Well, animals produce methane, which is a significantly more damaging greenhouse gas than CO2 (as it eventually degrades into CO2, whereas combustion of ethanol only results in CO2 and water. Ethanol isn’t perfect, but it’s less damaging than livestock, which also require land, while ethanol does not.

Okay, so we have large numbers of livestock dying of starvation because there are not enough calories in silage to support the livestock we have.

Then because they die unevenly (older and naturally sicklier animals first), they’re still pretty well distributed throughout farms very far from each other.

So now we need to transport our silage further to distribute it to our livestock, who again release a lot of methane in their processing of it.

This means, instead of using silage to make fertilizer or allow tractors to run on ethanol, we send it far away, where it can be used make a lot more contributions to greenhouse gases than we would have if we’d just stop trying to rear animals.

They currently live off of more than our waste products, so feeding them less isn’t going to work. We have to produce so much food to feed them, but we could reduce the amount of land needed for crops if we were only feeding people.

I don’t think she’s a good lawyer, but I also don’t think she’s stupid. I would call her shrewd. She’s exactly where she wants to be, if her end goal is more than 15 minutes of fame (which it seems to be, given that radio show). If trump sues her, she can just extend her time in the spotlight. If not, she can always sue him for nonpayment herself

You’re a sadist for not showing us the cross section

The Guardian reported in 22 on what came out of the investigation.

I would love for this to be false and one nutso nurse, please send me something credible suggesting it’s wrong, if you can. It’s fucking sickening to imagine it’s true, so I’m very happy to change my mind if there’s evidence supporting it.

So how do they need less food than they consume? Because we feed them silage, plus a lot more food.
