Counterpoint would be that production of other proteins (beef and chicken) would increase to make up for the lost production of pork, but the arguments against that are
1. Have to look at how much feed those require vs pigs (clearly chickens require way less) and
2. Pork is a cultural thing in China. There's some substitution, but to an extent they will simply eat less protein in absolute terms.
These were the kinds of things we thought a lot about. Had to think through this very carefully.
- konschubert 7y agoWhy do you call „meat“ „protein“?
- xwowsersx 7y agoJust habit. Beef, chicken and pork are collectively referred to as "proteins" within the investment community/people who follow Ag and Food companies.
- egdod 7y agoThat’s pretty common shorthand. For example, lots of people wouldn’t include fish as “meat” but would include it as a protein.
