i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.
this shows that some animal feed in the Netherlands is soybean product and palm oil product. it does not show that most people are getting beef from Brazil
if I can sell a hundred units a month of a product, and 1 units of an alternative product, then I probably get better prices on purchasing from the supplier on the more popular product, and it's unlikely I can get a comparable discount on the other one. and the labor cost per unit sold on my end is going to be the same, and the unpopular product is going to cost me storage space as well. so to make it worth my while, I need to push the price as high as the picky customers will tolerate.
all of agriculture is about 1/5 of our ghge, and we need to eat. let's shut down the war machines before we start telling poor people they need to change their lifestyles
Creating demand for the alternatives funds their R&D and furthers their availability, which in turn leads to better products for lower prices, which makes further adoption much easier.
there is no causal link between any of those events, and increased demand decrease availability.
I don't really believe what economists claim, v but you don't even seem to know what they say in the first place
thank you. no matter how many times I point out the inefficacy of consumer choices or how I word it, I end up with bad faith and fact-avoidant responses like you got.
