How to Mislead with Facts
This inevitably makes me think of a video about how meat consumption is not as bad by &quot;things I&#x27;ve learned&quot; on youtube. Search for that name and &quot;meat&quot; and you will inevitably find it. I thiught the claims in the video sounded too good to be true, so I read the study most of the claims in the video were based on.<p>They were comparing against a scenario where we kept producing the food fed to animals, but that humans had to eat it. Which meant no actual land gains, only a modest reduction in co2 emissions, and that people would become unhealthy by eating 4500kcal&#x2F;day, mostly from corn.<p>Even worse than the 3.1mn views is that the study in question was covered positively on TV and in newspapers.
