Media sensationalism is once again misleading people about food, this recent article is no different. This study tried to draw a very simple conclusion to an issue that has way more variables than they acknowledge. The production, transportation and storage of food greatly contributes to emissions, the study points out. These emissions range from carbon dioxide related to fossil fuels used to power farm machinery, to the methane released by livestock. Animal-based products tend to release more emissions than plant-based products due to the methane animals can produce and the inefficiencies in growing livestock feed. huffingtonpost/2014/06/27/vegetarian-carbon-footprint_n_5538914.html
