lol if u think 1000 calories of beef is the same as consuming 1000 calories of apple.
im not backtracking. just make sense of it man

who said it's the same? But weight is not a useful metric in that instance, since you are measuring the amount of food you need to consume in order to survive in calories and not in kilograms or lbs or whatever.

From your study, on page 2, The estimate of ammonia emissions in kilotons (kt) is based on ALL sources such as livestock waste, fertilizers, and manure management practices. not just livestock waste.

yes, there are values for many categories of emissions, your point being?

Also dawg, When we come to the cattle subsection, look at the n count, you are talking as if it was 1 cattle


It has been largely the same for most of the study.

wdym "as if it was 1 cattle"? It literally says all cattle is 14 in the housing system

You can also look at page 24, for a more thorough analysis about the input of ammonia via feed and the output. The calculation to fertilizer is highly skewed. You will easy know it if you understand basic statistics.
They even admit to it in fact (page 25).

how are the fertilizer calculations skewed? The asterisk on page 25 is referring to different studies than the ones on page 24 where it shows that most grazing emissions are clearly due to urine. And that quote doesn't prove anything is skewed anyways, it says emission rates were below detection level and that could be for both fertilizer and urine emissions, but again, different study.

Still not a comparison to how plant agriculture is better in terms of emission as compared to animal farming. I would argue with any study you look, the amount of nutrients you can feed a human through livestock is much much higher than plants.
Plants are just less expensive that's all, that's why we added them to the food pyramid. otherwise, it would all be largely meat based.

you can argue all you want but if studies don't back you up then you can't act like you are speaking facts and debunking governments like in OP. You are just a random with access to the internet at the end of the day.
