      Most humans like eating meat. But how can we do that without imposing factory-farming suffering on billions of sentient animals every year? My pal @jacyreese has a great new book out today on how new technology & new ethics can overcome this dilemma. We can solve this.https://twitter.com/jacyanthis/status/1059855933424222209 …

      Wow! So many book sales today that Amazon temporarily ran out of stock. (Fortunately it just means a 1-2 day delay in shipping.) It's still on sale at a 35% discount, so order your copy now. #EffectiveAltruism #Tech #Vegan #NewBook #Books https://amazon.com/End-Animal-Farming-Entrepreneurs-Animal-Free/dp/0807019453/ …

      Would it really be better for cows if people didn't eat meat? Certainly the number of cows alive would decline by several orders of magnitude.

      Personally, I think a case can be made that pastured cows have net positive lives, and that eating beef is ethically OK. Some folks disagree, but I think beef is generally the least unethical meat.

      Producing beef takes up far more land. We have literally replaced most of the planet's megafauna with cows. To really engage with these issues, it's difficult to avoid conclusion that we should replace consumption of animal products with plant-based foods to degree possible

      A third of the world's land is grassland/pastureland. Raising cows is a good way to preserve it, arguably.

          That would only be true if we didn't care about the megafauna the cows replace, and if we stocked cattle at similar densities. I care about wild mammals, and stocking rates of cattle are massively greater than pre-pastoral mammal biomass. So no, it's not.pic.twitter.com/QtYRw7fyzW
