I wanna know wtf is recycled beef in question 6.
What a random ass question anyway, what class is that even in?
wtf kinda subject are you learning lol
To save anyone else the trouble, I did the math on those three countries, and Peru does have the lowest overall consumption of meat both in total (by an order of magnitude) and per capita. So there’s no loopholes there. Africa’s still not a country.
remember OP: “never let your schooling interfere with your education”
No.8’s answer is wild lmao
Can you post the whole questionnaire? I’m really interested in these questions.
B. low-impact beef – This refers to beef raised using methods that reduce methane emissions, such as regenerative grazing or dietary changes for cattle.
C. Peru – Among the options, Peru has the lowest meat consumption per capita. “Africa” is a continent, not a country, and meat consumption varies widely across its nations.
D. they have a strong desire to harm the planet – Farmers generally do not aim to harm the environment; resistance to change is more about economic and structural barriers.
These are the right answers.
Pretty sure the annual consumption of meat in the entirety of Africa is higher than of the countries above.
This whole test seems lazy and stupid
According to google grass-fed beef produces 20% more methane than corn fed beef.
Are these tests thrown together by someone who just reads the marketing literature at Whole Foods?
Since when is Africa a country? The CONTINENT of Africa contains 54 Countries.
That’s really fucked up. Are you a fellow southeastern resident?
Also, going by the fact that that Peru has about 34 million people and Africa has 1.5 billion people, along with the question not specifying per capita, I’m going to guess that Peru consumes way less meat than Africa.
Both would be wrong. AFRICA eats a lot of meat.
I love it when teachers won’t admit they are wrong
My friends daughter’s class got asked –
“Name an animal that lives in a desert”.
The kid said ‘penguin”. The teacher argued black and blue that she was wrong…….but Antarctica is a desert. B1tch
Reminds me of a question I got wrong in 4th grade. “Which of these are infinite?” One check box was “blades of grass in a yard”. I didn’t check it and got marked wrong. I asked the teacher and her answer was “Well you couldn’t count them, could you?” Nine year old me first realized teachers can be idiots.
I thought the answer to 7 would be Japan….. the eat alot of seafood over there, right?
This is an issue
Hahahaha and you were right, Peru’s population does eat less meat than the others
You should ask the teacher to show you where the country of Africa is on a map because you looked and couldn’t find the country.
I guess the country Africa technically eats no meat
Let me guess: America
As a political science professor in Texas, this is the kind of academic shit my students are pre-taught that I have to unteach them when they get to me. K-12 is just a big babysitting gig at this point.
Africa is NOT a country, it is a continent. However SOUTH AFRICA is a country on the African continent. I’m sure your teach would appreciate you bringing this to their attention
Lol – maybe Trump is involved with more geographical renaming, because he can apparently.
Country/continent. Whatever. It’s Alabama. You guys don’t worry about education there. 🤷♀️
Africa is a continent.
And it’s wacky to say that about diet anyway. I mean if Africa were a country they’d eat way more because it’s HUGE.
If you want to argue Africa as a country are we talking about south Africa or the central Africa republic?
I’d take that to the school board and ask for a new teacher. That’s insane
It’s what his checkbook says.
Makes sense. Have you seen the new Secretary of freaking Education?
“Hey Drew? Africa is also a big continent if you’re a geographer.”
Recycled beef!!
I was a substitute teacher a while back and subbed for a science teacher. He was teaching his kids that climate change and global warming weren’t real. The high school kids knew he was full of crap also. This is in Oklahoma City
And to be honest African countries eat quite a bit of meat, I would have guessed Japan
I lost a primary school quiz because the highest mountain was “The Himalaya” and therefore wasn’t given some fancy pencils. I was mad, to put it mildly..
This…. When you ask gpt to make you a test.
Since when is Africa a country?
I would say Japan!
This is the most AI test I’ve seen 🤣
That teacher is a god damn moron
