Sure, but it’s normalized to kgs of product. With two lattes a day, 2kg of coffee lasts me more than 2 months. 2kgs per person of beef would last many households less than a week.
If you were to normalize to average daily consumption, coffee and chocolate would be significantly lower ranked. It’s ok to keep some indulgences while focusing on higher impact reductions.
This an assembly specifically designed to spread out heat, applying heat to the pipes will just make the whole thing hot. If you did take a giant blowtorch to it and got it hot enough to soften the pipes, you’d probably dry out the pipes (potentially explosively).
Heat pipes are cold worked in the factory. The metals chosen are ductile. Adding lots of heat will only add to the problems.
