(1x2)+0=2

If he is eating twice as much meat than before then the total meat consumption has doubled.

So, they'll prolly die of congestive heart failure 20 years earlier, meaning... 80 years of meat consumption minus 20 years of life = 120 years of lifetime consumption at a 2x meat consumption rate... If both you and they'd eaten an omnivore diet and lived to 80 that'd be 160 years of cumulative consumption so we're still ahead.

I hope their principals make up for their significantly reduced quality of life

"Im gonna eat twice the animals YOU do", not ".. twice the animals I used to"

They think picking a random sample means it must be equal to the average.

Or maybe my brain skipped over the "YOU" part. As I read it, he was just going to double his own meat consumption
