If the ingredient in a given product is known to be more environmentally impactful then the sun of the parts is, minimally, representative of those ingredients.

If the ingredient in a given product is known to be more environmentally impactful then the sun of the parts is, minimally, representative of those ingredients. It's well known, as you stated, that plants are less impactful on our world. The data linked in my parent comment showcases this. Alt meats are mostly plant based. Processing of livestock vs plants is much more costly, so I'm not sure where the disconnect is.
- voxic11 5y agoThe data linked in your comment does not indicate any relevant exponential relationships so its unclear what you mean by that word.
- windexh8er 5y agoMaybe you didn't open any of the links. As an example, from "Water footprint of crop and animal products: a comparison" [0]... Litre per kilogram - vegetables: 322, bovine meat: 15415 (47x more water required for meat) Litre per kilocalorie - vegetables: 1.34, bovine meat: 10.19 (7.6x more water required for meat) Litre per gram of protein - vegetables: 26, bovine meat: 112 (4.3x more water required for meat) Litre per gram of fat - vegetables: 154, bovine meat: 153 (1.006535948x more water required for vegetables) It seems that with respect to water consumption bovine meat requires, in a way the particularly concerning word is often used, exponentially more for similar output - in most (3 out of 4) cases described by the article.
