>> ^Skeeve: The conclusions of the LHP are that we should stop eating poultry and eat ruminant animals (cow, goat, sheep, deer, etc.). Reasonable estimates are that we would kill about 0.982 billion animals per year. Less than in the vegan alternative of 1.2 billion.

This math only works in some magical fairy land where cows do their own grazing. When was the last time you bought grass-fed beef? It's rare, and expensive. Industrially raised cattle eat industrially grown grains, same as the poultry, and humans, but cows eat more of them per pound of edible protein produced.

If they are going to use grass-fed cattle numbers, then they need to use biodynamic/no-till farming for the vegan side. This smells of cooked books to me.
