Haaaaang on.
Given an average human consumption of 2250 calories per day, they're telling us that we could feed ~10% fewer people if we moved to a fat-based diet globally?
- koliber 8y agoDepends where the fats come from. It takes a lot more resources to grow 100 calories of animal than 100 calories of plant. I imagine there is still a significant difference of resources needed to produce 100 calories of plant-based fat and 100 calories of animal-based fat.
- jfoldager 8y agoYou would think so, but thermodynamics do not apply to these scientists. People on an isocaloric high fat diet will expend 10 % more calories without loosing weight (their claim). I'm smelling the beginning of a perpetual motion machine.
