How to address the situation, students’ and adults’ knowledge and emotions, and effective action (as much as possible)? One thing that made me stop was this paragraph :” The efficiency with which various animals convert grain into protein varies widely. With cattle in feed-lots, it takes roughly 7 kilogrnms of grain to produce a 1-kilogram gain in live weight. For pork, the figure is over 3 kilograms of grain ....
