I'm looking for a range, or better yet, likelihood distribution, compared to:

  1. The average US meat consumer.
  2. The average world meat consumer.

How significantly are those averages affected by:

  1. Distance the meat travels to plate.
  2. Food source of the meat. For instance, are these numbers greatly impacted if the livestock is fed with organic feed, or range grass vs. meal
  3. The types of meat consumed. I know beef much more GHG intensive than chicken. But how much and where does pork fit in?
  4. Any other factors you can identify.

Also, is the impact of cutting out other animal products as significant?
