// I am deciding between eating mussels and eating tofu, with omega 3 supplements. I end up with a conclusion that a mix is reasonable, because 500g of mussels is more than I can feasibly eat a week, so supplementing omega 3 and b12 on top should put me in a healthy range. Results below generated by iterating with claude opus 4.8 until I felt i had removed all its mistakes. I believe the results are reasonable. I feel that mussels are plausibly sentient but springtails are more plausibly sentient, and springtails are killed much more frequently when farming soybean than mussels are when farming mussels. I fix them equal for this aanalysis to be sure my conclusion is not unfair to the mussels. The bottome line I draw is it is probably slightly better morally speaking to eat organic mussels as a vegan in the EU, but it's really not clear in the end. // // === Mussels vs Tofu — sentience-weighted expected deaths for 500g of mussels and equivalent tofu === // // Compares 500 g cooked mussels vs a CALORIE-EQUIVALENT serving of cooked tofu. // Output unit: sentience-weighted welfare units per serving (human welfare-range = 1.0). // // All figures cite the local fact sheet: // /home/dmrivers/mussels_vs_tofu/Mussels vs. Soy Plus Algae-Oil_ Cost-Effectiveness Input Fact Sh.md (pasted at end of file) // with additional numbers from the prior conversation research (Potapov 2023,
