Another “fun” chart on various food sources green house gas emissions adjusted per kilogram of food product.

I love how the chart breaks cows into multiple categories making it look that much smaller even though it’s still chart topping.

poore nemecek had flawed methodology and should not be the basis of policy decisions.
Kindly explain where so we can make our own opinion.
as just one facet, they count everything fed to beef, including cottonseed, when calculating the inputs. but cotton isn’t grown for cottonseed. if we didn’t feed a large portion of our annual cottonseed to livestock, it would just be wasted. vegans will tell you that the return is only 1/10 of the input, but that’s a lot better than 0/10.
