That’s not a fair comparison. Hundreds of tons of train of 100kmh take several km to stop.

Statoil did not rebrand their gas stations although it could appear to be the case. First they separated the operation into a new subsidiary called Statoil fuel & retail, which they then sold to Couche-tard, a Canadian convenience store

I should have added “all else being equal”. In context of the question I was trying to answer this still holds.

In an economic system, a product will be sold at the highest price possible, so if advertising it as using recycled materials nets you higher profit, than you will do that. So even if non-recycled is more expensive to produce, it will be ch

Who is promoting an agenda? I’m making quite incontroversial statements that should be trivial to verify if you have an inch of interest. I’m leaving it to you to make your own ethical considerations. I also gave you one source, and encoura

Do allow me to exemplify how simple research can back up some of my uncontroversial observations. https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/product-safety-informa... “Estrous Control and Synchrony in Cattle Exogenous hormo

What point are you trying to make? Not sure hiw putting a plate of food in front of someone is comparable to putting your arm into a female’s birth canal with a canister of sperm. Again, what you think is ok and not ok in terms of treating

That’s your prerogative of course. I never said that cattle are forced into heat. Most of western industrialized dairy production use artificial insemination though. That’s hardy controversial or in need of backing up with sources. Nothing

It’s true that you can’t impregnate an animal in heat, but once in heat you can obviously. It’s also possible to control heat with hormon supplements, which farmers regularly use to synchronize calfings in their herd. Not really sure what p

Well, I can’t produce the hard facts. I’m talking about what I know from anecdotal and educational experience. I don’t have sources at hand. Sorry :) If you really care about the subject I encourage you to research it from all points of vie

Not sure what qualifies fact, as there are not a lot of wild bovine species left in world. As for choosing not to mate, I think there are studies showing that animals in captivity regularly refuse to mate. After all, in the wild there’s com

Emphasis on “during your entire life”. Yes in the wild, cattle would be naturally inclined to bear offspring annually, but may not always. Also, would eventually stop and live on to help care for the calves of younger individuals in the flo

Imagine being more or less constantly pregnant during your entire life, hooked up to a machine that sucks your calves food out of you, while they are dragged away for slaughter or to join the crew. After a handful lactations, or if you don’

Campbell does not advocate strict prohibition of animal protein. He observes, merely, that it’s probably easier to avoid it altogether than to reduce the intake to safe levels. The argument is as follows, albeit simplified: When you eat an

Alas, developers, not corporate america, decide which languages are used. If stakeholders had any idea it mattered, the landscape may have looked very different.
