A couple years of a dear ‘gathering nutrients’, vs a summer of cultivating a garden and harvesting? Or do I need to include the energy expenditure (energy ingested by the dear minus energy lost to biological processes, vs solar energy collected minus energy expended on building plant mass and energy expended in harvest)?
I was really just pointing out the absurdity of your complaint about the study but you’re making this into a fun little digression.
Costs a great deal to own a gun and ammunition, a truck to haul, tools and labor to clean and butcher, and more to store and prepare it. To speak nothing of the labor of the dear to produce the biomass.
Lol we can keep going with this if you want, it’s pretty fun.
Lol, ok so you’re including labor cost?

it costs us almost nothing to take down a deer. it costs us a great deal to raise a garden.
Costs nothing to harvest a plant, too.

this smacks of bad faith.
Lmao I thought that’s what you were doing
foraging for plants is a lot less calorie efficient than hunting or fishing.
Lmao not if you’re hunting with spears!
Or are we allowed to use tools in this hypothetical digression?
you’re the one obsessed with defending a paper whose scope was too limited to cover any of these scenarios so do what you want i guess
You’re the one obsessed with dismissing the paper based on qualifiers beyond the scope of the research, so you do you I guess.
i’m not dismissing the paper. i’m explaining how it’s being deceptively framed.
I don’t think there was anything deceptive about its framing, it was addressing the claim that ‘vegan diets are a luxury’
