[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you need to better inform yourself on this. The biggest environmental impact is the combination of growing food for cows to eat and then the methane those animals release. The travel and packaging impact is relatively minor compared to that. This is a helpful diagram: https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2020/01/Environ...-foods-by-life-cycle-stage.png[/quote] Wow, the shock here is just how different the impact of cow/mutton vs. chicken/fish. It seems almost a disservice to the environmental message to lump them together and to simply promote a "meat-free" diet. It would seem that pushing instead for diet of moderate chicken/egg/fish (for nutrition/satiety purposes) and otherwise plant-based would be almost as beneficial to the planet and much more accessible and doable for most (i.e., the somewhat-green-friendly diet you will do is much better than the very-green-friendly diet you won't!)
