We do! Sky lights, fiber optic sky light extenders, etc. humans are always trying to light up their artificial caves with sunlight.

Building architecture used to have amazing creative designs to capture this free lighting.

However, cheap efficient indoor lighting removed this as a driving force, so newer buildings don’t have the same design constraints

This is really well written!

Well written! Yes combinations are a great way to complete the liebig amino acid barrel - here is a fun tool that helps do this https://www.diaas-calculator.com/ - but DIAAS cannot be “calculated”, we can guess by adding up amino acids in isolation, but you don’t get a real DIAAS reading unless you feed the combination to a pig then actually measure the amino acid absorption.

science says

That is a fun turn of phrase

There isn’t one person who’s opinions encompass “science says” - multiple public health bodies recommend a 1.1-1.6g/kg/day protein intake.

That doesn’t address grass land vs cropland.

It just complains people are turning forests into cropland.

We wouldn’t grow more crops in total, but more would be available for human consumption.

The bulk of animal food from crops isn’t human edible. Cows have an amazing ruminant digestive system that can process plant food that humans can’t!

agree that eating less meat is good for everyone

I think this is just human nature, you say the socially acceptable thing to move the conversation along even if it wont impact their behavior. In a situation where the topic comes up (even staunch pro-meat doctors) the path of least resistance is to smile nod and “agree”.

More humans could survive with more food if we reused the land growing food for animals for growing food for humans to eat.

Animals are raised on grass land, which is different from cropland. Even if all the animals disappeared tomorrow we wouldn’t have any extra cropland.

I’m sure the discussion benefits from getting the facts straight.

You talked about a DIAAS (digestable indispensable amino acid score!) - you are my favorite person today.

But let’s contextualize plant proteins by how much food you need to eat, an 68kg adult needs about 110g of protein per day - Eating steak that is 350g of food, eating tofu is 650g of food, lentils is 1600g of food.

As the amount of plant based protein increases so does carbohydrate burden - a significant factor people need to be aware of, as most (94%) western adults have impaired metabolism and thus impaired insulin sensitivity - increased carbohydrate loads need to be carefully considered in their diet.

As a contrived example 1.6kg of lentils is 1900 calories.

No one has to eat meat

People with crohn’s or colostomy bags would disagree.

in fact with all the space used for animals we could produce way more food instead.

The space used for animals is grassland and doesn’t have the right soil to be cropland. i.e. if all animals disappeared tomorrow we wouldn’t get any more cropland at all.

All essential nutrients humans need can be found in plants. You need to adjust your diet obviously, some nutrients like B12 and Iron are harder to get from a plant-based diet. While others, like Vitamin C and Fiber are easier.

If you eat 100% plant based you will need to supplement which contradicts the first sentence.

We exist because of a unbroken chain of horny humans existed in all types of conditions, only recently have showers been readily available. The human spirit will make due!

Knowing what I don’t know

Sauna. Daily sauna use for a month will make you feel much more comfortable in the heat and humidity.

I use the sauna for 20m at 85c daily, and it makes living in the tropics a breeze. Adapting your body to heat management has huge benefits

• I sweat less
• I don’t feel hot
• sleep better
