I get your point, but from the same source,

The four meats are pretty close with regards to protein per 100g.
What is also interesting to see is the land use per 100g of protein.

It would seem that those who have a problem with livestock farming love that graph about land use requirement but it is meaningless or actually positive.
It is positive in that it shows how free to roam cattle and sheep are.
It is meaningless in that it does not indicate multiple uses of that land. It includes moors, cliffs and even woodland. Knowing the sleight of hand used in these datasets, it probably includes areas of corn and soya etc on which cattle use the by-products.

and even the land that grows good arable crops, we need to give a "rest" to every now and again, if it is to keep growing good crops for ever (and that "rest" is a fertility building grazed ley for a few years), just as they said on the farming connect grassmaster course, your grazing should have a 12 week rest over the winter, so it can hit the spring flying.
I don't know if David Walston (Thriplow Farm) is a member here, but I found his Nuffield report really interesting and inspiring actually.
For those how haven't time to read the full report.
After a few years of working on our family farm, I noticed that some fields performed significantly better than their neighbours, even though the soil types were very similar. The histories of these fields were very different, with the better performing ones having been more recently used for growing grass and grazing livestock. In our case, we found that even after 25 years there could be as much as a 25% increase in yields in fields that had been more recently in pasture. Many farmers realise that these areas always grow the best crops, but there is a reluctance to understand why, or to try and harness those characteristics to improve the whole farm
is out world data ,unbiased, who financially supports them?View attachment 978900

But keep in mind they are not the originators of the data I linked, they just created the shiny graphs based on data from other research.How We’re Funded
Our World in Data is a collaborative effort between researchers at the University of Oxford, who are the scientific editors of the website content; and the non-profit organization Global Change Data Lab (GCDL), who publishes and maintains the website and the data tools that make our work possible.
So their total income was from donations and grants, total £659872
Donations, £10218
Grants £649654
They are very dependent on whoever supplies the grants
I resent not being able to buy a bottle of squash without sugar in it. The rubbish 'no added sugar' sweeteners leave an after taste in my mouth so I suppose I'll stick with beer.

Lots of charities are, but lets not keep everyone in suspense and disclose those suppliers of grants as it is all public info.
- CAF America Fund - this is restricted funding aimed at supporting the website development of Our World In Data.
- Templeton World Charity Foundation - this is restricted funding aimed at publishing data entries on social connections, interpersonal relations and loneliness.
- Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation - this is unrestricted funding, which has been designated and committed for general operations support, capacity building and infrastructure development.
- Other support funds - these are smaller restricted funds, representing a number of grants of less than £10,000.

I've begun buying cordials, and sometimes make some. Sweeteners make me feel weird, and I don't like feeling weird when I'm responsible for people, animals, or machinery.
Is it noy Bill Gates saying the world should have 100% meat free diet,that sounds a bit biased if he is funding.

Again the websites funding has nothing to do with the principal research, the website just makes it easily accessible.

I believe you get an equal insulin response to sweeteners as sugar. I think you have highlighted the problem, our palates have changed so we are eating things that are not healthy for us.

The Provisional Wing of Rewilders Vegan branch want to classify AI as rape so where do you draw the line
- Location
- Aberdeenshire
Don't know about them lot but in this proposal by Oregon legislature isn't AI classified as a veterinary procedure which is allowed isn't it?
By the way, couldn't find a website or other info on Provisional Wing of Rewilders Vegan branch so can you provide some background to your claim?
