Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
These are the
most climate-damaging foods
Beef and Lamb
are the worst, followed by Butter, Shellfish, Milk and Pork. These are the
foods found to be the most responsible for climate change, according to a new study
by a non-profit environmental advocacy group.
Beef and
cattle combined accounts as much as two thirds of animal agriculture emissions
because a large amount of pesticide and fertilizer, which requires substantial fossil
fuels, is used to produce its feed. Also, its digestive system produces a lot
of methane gasses.
What will you
do now? Switch red meat to white meat, butter to margarine, or milk to soymilk?
Whatever you do, don’t eat just one thing too much. Your size and health also
affect the environment.
Enjoy reading
and learning another aspect of global warming.
