xep@discuss.onlineto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds3·3 days agoI see, so your definition of luxury good is “something that can be functionally replaced.” I was thinking of the economic definition.
I don’t think meat to be functionally replaceable with plant proteins. Heme-iron alone makes it very difficult to do, since iron from plants is far less bioavailable. What does a vegan diet do for Vitamin B12? Conspicuous consumption is not necessary for survival, but B12 very much is.
I don’t notice a day-to-day difference.
Changes from nutrition can take a long time to become manifest. I wish you longevity and good health.

This is a take I’ve never heard before, it’s not how I think luxury goods are defined, and I’m now genuinely curious as to what you consider a luxury product. Do you think that eating some chicken is the same as wearing a Hermes handbag, or driving a Lamborghini?
because it can be entirely replaced by other calories + nutrients + supplements.
This reads to me like it cannot be replaced without supplementation, which seems to be a critical flaw for people who are unable to supplement. I’m also of the opinion that calories are not a useful measure for nutrition, since our bodies are not bomb calorimeters.

xep@discuss.onlineto Android@lemdro.id•F-Droid and Google's Developer Registration Decree - Google’s move to break free app distributionEnglish26·3 days agoThat’s egregious and really will impede using open source software on Android. Guess my phone will turn into a device for tethering now, instead.

xep@discuss.onlineto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds133·3 days agoIf you look at the source of the data for emissions it’s unclear that it’s all from meat production: https://ourworldindata.org/greenhouse-gas-emissions-food
Even if we take at face value that meat accounts for 60% of industrial agriculture emissions, as a proportion of total emissions that is still only 0.6 * 26% = ~16%. It’s sizable, but perhaps we should be addressing the elephants in the room, in the “non-food” section, first.
