Stop eating meat and reduce greenhouse gases by only 2.6%...

Sorry. Rich Westerners eating less burgers — and smugly Instagramming it, and then even more smugly telling a world that barely eats two square meals a day…to…follow their lead…isn’t going to save the planet. Don’t believe me? Here, read this. “Even if Americans eliminated all animal protein from their diets, they would reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by only 2.6 percent…according to our research at the University of California, Davis, if the practice of Meatless Monday were to be adopted by all Americans, we’d see a reduction of only 0.5 percent.” That’s by an academic who’s actually studied the subject.
