    I’ve asked you before to point to even a single paper responding to this extremely high-profile meta-analysis with something even resembling this vague concern;

    the references themselves say this explicitly.

      So what I’m hearing here is that despite this being an ISO standard, thereby rendering this trivially obvious even to someone with zero background in this field:

      • Poore & Nemecek saw and see no issue with it.
      • The peer reviewers for one of the world’s top academic journals see no issue with it.
      • None of the 100+ authors of the 40 papers cited see any issue with it.
      • Having read this, none of the hundreds upon hundreds of environmental scientists for whom this is their life’s work and who are orders of magnitude more informed on this than you or I see no issue with it.
      • The animal agriculture industry – which again, absolutely has the means and the overwhelming financial motive to refute this – sees no issue with it.

      I’m sorry for “appealing to authority” when all you have to offer is the same flimsy, nonsensical vagary over and over again. If you’ll recall, I even asked you last time to point to one of the references calling what Poore & Nemecek did here unjustified, and you refused, likely because you’ve never actually read a single one of the 40 referenced papers in your life.

        your characterization of my expertise is bare ad hominem. what I’m saying is true or false regardless of your opinion of me and my expertise.
