Prof. Geoff Simm, Director of Global Academy Agriculture and Food Security at the University of Edinburgh, said: “I think (livestock farmers) do feel they are being demonised.

爱丁堡大学全球农业和粮食安全学院主任杰夫·西姆教授说：“我认为（畜牧业者）的确觉得自己在被妖魔化。”

“Often the argument is made that going vegan would minimise land use, and the modelling studies that have been done demonstrate that that’s not the case.

他说：“常有人声称，纯素能将土地使用降至最低水平，而已有的模型研究表明，情况并非如此。”

“We feel that while livestock production has a range of economic, social and environmental costs and benefits, the costs have perhaps been receiving far more attention recently than some of the benefits.

他说：“我们认为，尽管畜牧生产在经济、社会和环境方面有着众多成本及益处，但其成本最近受到的关注可能远超某些益处。”

“Meat has massive social benefits. It’s an important source of dietary protein, energy, highly bioavailable micronutrients, even small amounts of animal-sourced food have a really important effect on the development of children, in the developing world on their cognitive and physical development and they are really important.”

他说：“肉类有着巨大的社会效益。它是膳食中蛋白质、能量、高生物利用度的微量营养素的重要来源，即使是少量动物源性食品，对发展中国家儿童的认知和身体发育都有着非常重要的影响，非常重要。”
