It takes 10 kg of milk to produce 1 kg of cheese. The cumulative elasticity factor for milk products is 0.45. So buying one 20-gram slice of cheese will lead to an expected increase of 90 grams in the total amount of milk produced.

The average lifespan of a dairy cow is 2000 days and she will produce about 50,000 kg of milk during her lifetime. So buying one 20-gram slice of cheese, means, overage, an extra six minutes of life experienced by dairy cows.

No doubt David Harrison can tell us whether this life is of "positive value" or "negative value".

These conversion factor stories are meaningless. It often takes a lot
of various input factors to create one unit of desirable output. So
what? So fucking what? It takes a lot of labor hours to produce one
Rolls-Royce car; many times more than is required to produce one low-end
Kia or other cheap car. So what? There are people who want Rolls-Royce
and other expensive cars, and there is no moral case to be made that
they "ought" to be forced to buy Kias or some other cheap shitty make
instead.

People want relatively resource-intensive meat. As long as they can
afford it, there's no reason they shouldn't have it. As I demonstrated
long ago, what matters is economic efficiency, not physical efficiency.

I wasn't making any claim about what people "should" do at all. I was just giving an estimate for the impact that buying one 20-gram slice of cheese has on the total amount of life experienced by dairy cows, because I thought that some people might find it interesting.

I've told you plenty of times I believe that by far most dairy cattle have
lives of positive value, and ESPECIALLY those which are grain fed as well as
grass and hay fed. Even you have pretended that you thought some grass raised
cattle could possibly have lives of positive value. Do you now want to retract
that AGAIN? Or do you want to restrict it to only beef cattle or something like
that?

I might find it interesting if you'd do it for cage free eggs. And also what
sort of influence it could have on caged egg production. Remember that the ONLY
reason for buying cage free eggs is to contribute to better lives for laying
hens and it doesn't do the consumer any good at all. Quite the opposite in fact
because the eggs are smaller, the shells are more likely to crumble and the
membrane thicker making them harder to open without breaking the yolk, plus they
cost significantly more. But I buy them and cussed a few earlier today. If you
bought them you would be doing something instead of nothing as I pointed out to
you in the past countless times, even if you don't eat them but instead give
them to someone who buys cage raised eggs, or to someone to feed their pets, or
just throw them in the trash... That would be better than nothing, but if you
could eliminate a caged egg purchase or more that would be doing twice as much
or more. Do you think that would be more than twice as much as doing nothing? Or
only twice as much as doing nothing?

Buying a dozen eggs contributes about 21 days of life for laying hens.

Refraining from buying battery cage eggs and donating money to organizations that encourage other people to do the same is not doing nothing. Even if I thought that some laying hens had lives that are worth living, buying their eggs would not necessarily be the most efficient way by means of which I could increase the number of years of life worth living that are lived. And there may be other more important goals that I could pursue with my limited resources, like reducing suffering.

This doesn't sound right.

I used a cumulative elasticity factor of 0.91, I assumed that an egg weighs 70 grams, and I used the estimate that a laying hen lives one year and produces 15.3 kg of eggs. If this were right then only 220 of its 365 days would be laying days. Could be right, I guess.

Probably not, but it sounds good to me.

It's doing less that nothing it you're sending it to an eliminationist
organization, imo.

You're certainly refusing to support cage free egg production, but what else
could you do? Support it?

My impression was that they live a couple of years, and if you got your
information from an eliminationist organization I doubt they'd tell the truth.
Instead they'd take the worst case, make it even worse, and then present it as
the norm, imo.

Well, if the estimate for the length of the life is too low but the estimate for the quantity of eggs produced in one lifetime is correct, then that would increase the marginal contribution to the number of days of life achieved by buying one dozen eggs.

However, I suspect that the estimate of one year of life and 15.3 kg of eggs produced in that year is for battery hens. You are interested in the corresponding estimates for cage-free laying hens. I think that the ratio would come out the same so that the calculation would be unaffected.

There is no "it". If there were, you would have presented "it" or "them" by

>You are just trying to waste my time.

You're trying to get me to believe you have something worthwhile when you
OBVIOUSLY don't. This is similar to the trick you and the Goober have tried to

prevents it from being to their advantage that they are alive. Niether of you

people to believe it has been done numerous times. But! Neither of you can ever
present an example of it being done. Similarly you can't present anything worth

there. You want us to pretend there is, but I'm not going to try to pretend
with you unless you present whatever it is you want me to think you're trying to
talk about. You won't even say what kind of deaths in your favorite tofu

Because I've given it more thought than you for one thing. But I've given it

There's nothing there worth reading IN YOUR OPINION or you would have
presented it. You presented what you thought was "best" from the broiler page
and not only was it not in regards to broiler chickens, but it didn't even make
the lives of the birds it was related to of negative value imo. Not even close,
in fact, and that was the "best" you could find on that page. You can't find
anything even that piss poor on any of the other pages, so I would be stupid to
go look for something worth reading when you've proven repeatedly that you don't
know of anything yourself.

It's obvious to those of us who favor the cage free method and are opposed
to the cage method enough to buy cage free eggs and support cage free of cage
production. That doesn't include you so you're not mentally able to appreciate
it, but since I am mentally able I do.

No, you haven't. You haven't given it a bit of thought.

But it's irrelevant whether you have or haven't. You still can't
*defend* your opinion.

Since I'm in favor of decent AW I can only consider it worse than doing
nothing to contribute to the elimination of domestic animals, Goober. But if you
think you can, try to explain how you want people to think that contributing to
eliminationist organizations is superior to buying cage free eggs Goo. Go:

He let me know and proved it repeatedly Goob. But if you think there's

I've given you a link which discusses welfare issues for dairy cows. You refuse to read it for some reason. It's really not my problem.

You posted something that may be a link or may not. What I do know because
you have proven it is that there's nothing at that or any other link you're
aware of that supports whatever it is you think you're trying to argue. You
prove that by being unable to present anything that supports whatever it is you
think you're trying to argue.

No it's not, and again you can't provide any evidence at all that it is
false.

Goo and your nephew "Dutch" sure do, but just as you can't present anything
you think helps support your position from the pages you provide links to, Goo
and his boy can't present a single quote from the incredible pig that they think
helps support their idiotic seeming position either. You people have nothing,
and you are consistent in that.

YOU have made it clear there's nothing at that link, if it's a link at all,
which supports whatever it is you think you're trying to talk about.

>It's really not my problem.

You've been caught and exposed trying to get away with a dishonest trick,
and that is the position you're in whether it's a "problem" to you or not.

You obviously don't believe that Goober because if there was anything there
you thought I would not want to read you would have presented it by now. But you
didn't present anything meaning you don't believe there's anything there just as
Rupert doesn't believe there's anything there Goob. If you think there's
something there I should be scared of then present it, Goo. Go:

It's a link. You didn't read the material because you're a liar and not
a serious participant. Yes.

I'm trying to argue that dairy cattle in the European Union suffer from serious welfare problems. I presented a link to some information that supports that conclusion. I am not "unable" to copy and paste information from the article, but I do not see the point in doing so. If you are interested, why don't you just click the link and read the article? And if you are not interested, what care I?

What form did my dishonesty take? I posted a link which you refused to read. That's dishonest, is it?

Like what do YOU think is enough to make life of negative value for them? Or
can't you comprehend what that term means?

>I presented a link to some information that supports that conclusion. I am not "unable" to copy and paste information from the article,

You're apparently unable to present anything that YOU believe supports what
you want people to believe or you'd have done it instead of making wussile
excuses about why you have not.

My best guess would be that, on the whole, the lives of dairy cattle in the European Union are not worth living.

The considerations which lead me to believe this are given in the article at the end of the link.

otherwise.

You presented something that does NOT make life of negative value for the
parents of broiler chickens imo. You haven't even done that little in regards to
broilers themselves or any other type(s) of creature(s) on the planet, afaik.

Probably not. It's stupid either way though. I you do believe there's
something there you're stupid for not presenting it, and of course if you don't
you're stupid for continuing to insist there is even after I've let you know I
have you figured out.

Try digging them out of this. Go:

"I have been a benefactor to this Pig," he must say, "inasmuch as I ate
a portion of his predecessor; and now I will be a benefactor to some yet
unborn Pig, by eating a portion of this one." This, then, is the benign
attitude of the Philosopher towards the Pig; and what shall be the reply
of the Pig to the Philosopher? "Revered moralist," he might plead, "it
were unseemly for me, who am to-day a pig, and to-morrow but ham and
sausages, to dispute with a master of ethics, yet to my porcine intellect
it appeareth that having first determined to kill and devour me, thou hast
afterwards bestirred thee to find a moral reason. For mark, I pray thee,
that in my entry into the world my own predilection was in no wise
considered, nor did I purchase life on condition of my own butchery.
If, then, thou art firm set on pork, so be it, for pork I am: but though
thou hast not spared my life, at least spare me thy sophistry. It is not
for his sake, but for thine, that in his life the Pig is filthily housed
and fed, and at the end barbarously butchered."

Well, it seems to me the pig is making some pretty reasonable points there.

The pig makes the following observations. The pig observes that it did not give consent to the "deal" of being brought into existence in order to benefit from its life in exchange for eventually being slaughtered at the end. The pig also observes that the activity of bringing pigs into existence and slaughtered them is not motivated by consideration of the well-being of the pigs, but out of the desire to promote human well-being, and the claim that it improves the well-being of the pigs is only a rationalization made after the fact. These strike me as pretty reasonable observations.

The Philosopher is in no way a "benefactor" to any pig. The LoL is
discredited.

"It" is not there.
That's because you can't think realistically about human influence on
animals. In order for Salt's fantasy to have anything to do with reality pigs
would have to be aware that they will be killed and eaten by humans. They don't,
so Salt's fantasy is no better than "Chicken Run" or "Charlotte's Web".

Now read it, this time.
No. That is not the case. The points that the pig is making stand regardless of whether or not pigs are actually aware in advance that they will be killed.

Yes it sure is.

>The points that the pig is making stand regardless of whether or not pigs are actually aware in advance that they will be killed.

Since what the pig mentioned doesn't reduce the quality of life for actual
pigs that do exist, what he mentioned doesn't reduce the quality of life for
actual pigs that do exist.

Yes, it is. The link works. Click it and read the article.
No, that's evidence of a very poor grasp of Salt's argument on your part.

"It" is not in the article.
The fact that pigs don't suffer from knowing they'll be killed means pigs
don't suffer from knowing they'll be killed regardless of whatever Salt was
trying to get away with.

In contrast to that absurd remark it's extremely significant. It's also
another clear indication that you don't care in general, that you don't care
that pigs don't suffer from knowing they'll be killed.

What is not in the article?
A pig probably would be able to grasp that its life was in danger in the moments immediately before slaughter, and this would cause some suffering. During most of its lifespan, the pig has no awareness that it is destined to be slaughtered for food. But this has no bearing on the points that Salt was making.

What's the significance?

Of course I care.

Anything that makes it seem that life is of negative value to the majority
of broiler chickens.
Either you've never seen pigs killed or you didn't appreciate what you were
seeing. From my own observations and experiences as well as all of those I've
discussed it with who have seen pigs killed, they do NOT know what's going on
when it happens. We used to kill at least one or two of the pigs the sow I had
in high school had out of each litter when they got up to somewhere over 100
pounds. We killed them in front of their mother and whatever sibblings were
left. None of them ever showed any signs of being afraid or even feeling
anything was wrong at all. They did sniff and lick the blood, and in other
slaughters I've seen pigs drink the blood from the ones killed before them, but
they never show signs of fear. So they don't suffer from it even at the time of
their own slaughter. You don't like that, do you? You have always thought and
still want to believe they suffer horribly from it, don't you?

>During most of its lifespan, the pig has no awareness that it is destined to be slaughtered for food. But this has no bearing on the points that Salt was making.

What worthwhile points do you think it has no bearing on? Why do you think
Salt tried to get away with whatever he was trying to get away with by inventing
an imaginary pig that knows he'll be killed and eaten by humans???

If it could reduce the quality of life for actual pigs, and I've no doubt
Salt would love it if it could and did, it would be a LOT different than it is
that it can't. For example if it could, then because of it somehow pigs WOULD
know.

If you really do then you should feel glad and to a large extent relieved to
learn that pigs don't suffer from knowing they'll be killed, even at the time of
their death. But, I've no doubt there are a number of horrible things you
believe which are not true, but you want to believe they are and refuse to
accept reality about them. Like beef sometimes involving fewer deaths than
soybeans for example. You act like you can somehow believe it has NEVER been the
case, which is...well...I would have understood better than that in grade school
even if we never did discuss that particular aspect. To think it's even possible
a person would have to be ignorant of everything, from my pov.
