Eating lettuce more than three times worse for environment than eating bacon: Study
While studies have shown that eating meat is bad for the environment, a new study has found that eating your veggies can be worse.
A study out of Carnegie Mellon University found that following the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) recommendation to eat more fruits, vegetables, seafood and dairy is in fact more harmful to the environment than eating meat. The reason, they say, is that these foods require high resource use and create high greenhouse gas emissions per calorie.
