Did you even read the "article"? You seem to be replying to the headline only.
- dogruck 9y agoYes, and please read the HN guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."
- ndh2 9y agoSorry if I jumped to conclusions here. The reason was this sentence. > Vegans will click thinking, "damn right!" Non-vegans will likely ignore it, thinking, "okay loony." The study that referred to in the article is displayed in a way that won't sit well with any vegan. Since we can't read the study, we don't know much more.

- dogruck 9y agoCan you clarify what gives you the impression that I did not read the article? Did you notice that it says: “Our logic was to start at the extreme scenario [and work backward from that],” says Robin White, the study’s lead author and an animal sciences researcher at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg. She and fellow animal sciences researcher Mary Beth Hall, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, began by estimating the impact of converting all land now used by the livestock industry to cropland for human food.
