"Australian trial of seaweed cow feed fails to achieve hoped-for methane cuts
Longest trial so far of supplement derived from red seaweed produced 28% less of the greenhouse gas – a much smaller reduction than in previous studies."
So, not as much as the 97% in the shorter trials, but 28% is certainly statistically significant, and doesn’t really fall under the category of “industry propaganda.” They also used less seaweed for this trial and used a breed not tested before, along with an open air sampling process, while other trials had been indoor, sealed environments. Even if other breeds had the same weight gain issue (no evidence of that so far) and needed to wait longer until slaughter it’s still a 19% reduction.
Even with 19% it’s still many many many many many percent wrose than plant based alternatives.
It’s absolutely propaganda, I know you agree. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume you’re against racism.
Assume some “preliminary study” made the rounds that 97% of black people do X (X being a bad thing), and everyone talked about it, and it was in sooo many news stories, and sooo many racists used that study to argue that racism is correct, akshually. Now, a year or so later, a bigger study reveals that it’s not 97%, it’s 19% percent. It’s not making the rounds, because it’s boring news, and noone that talked about the earlier study even notices, and you STILL have to constantly bring up this new result, because people are STILL quoting the older study. You genuinely don’t think that’s propaganda? The fact that the study good for the racists made it to so many news outlets, but the not so good one didn’t? That noone anywhere put any money towards making that happen?
But it is cheaper to hire slaves and let them piss in bottles, so you have to accept that as long as robots are not cheaper and faster. As long as robots are not 90% as fast and cheap as humans.
It’s also much tastier.
There are plenty of things that create more greenhouse gases that should be more thoroughly regulated than eating meat.
There are also plenty of ways to improve the carbon foot print of cows (the worst offenders), like feeding them seaweed: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0249053
I’m looking forward to cultured meat becoming cheap and available. Then we can haz peopleburgers!
Not it doesn’t, and that was basically industry propaganda: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/13/seaweed-cow-feed-trial-fails-methane-reduction-australia

I’m all for lab grown meat if it can taste even 90% the same as real meat and have the same benefits.
Would you be good with Bezos saying
Yes. I’m all for automation of menial jobs.
