I don't know what "zappers" are or "Rense" is, but the rest are
sufficient to show your beliefs indiscriminate and your skepticism
level profoundly lacking.

No, he didn't. Your original ratio of 8:1 was about right. Then you,
along w/ help of other ar/evs, began adding irrelevant factors
(transportation of livestock and livestock feeds) and omitting
relevant ones (finishing, silage). By the time you were done bloating
the ratio, you'd proven that mammalian life can't exist on Earth.
Since *most* of us have the ability to look around and see
observational evidence to the contrary, we logically concluded your
numbers were grossly inaccurate. Your challenge that we parse your
numbers and double-check your arithmetic was a hollow bluff and
unnecessary exercize.

Just so you know, if ruminants required the staggering 85-90:1 feed to
meat ratio you eventually rocketed to, a cow pie would have more
potential chemical energy than TNT. Another fantastic possibilty is
that livestock are running internal temps in the 1000F range, in which
case 5000 head of cattle are producing enough energy to light Chicago.

You and your number-juggling "disproved" the First Law of
Thermodynamics. You didn't know you were doing this, but when the
obvious flaws were pointed out to you, you continued to insist your
ratios were arrived at accurately. Thus, suspect's accusation is/was
valid. I don't recall participating in the other discussions, but I'll
bet his other accusations are valid as well.
