Brighter Planet did a report on the subject - it does a similar analysis that breaks emissions down per calorie and the profile is similar, with red meat performing the worst, fish in between and poultry the best. I've answered a similar question on vegetarianism that also explains the impact of farm to plate transportation (less important than type of food). | |
