What’s eating meat got to do with climate change, you may ask. A lot, actually.
The FAO calculates that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.
The emissions arise not because you eat and belch or fart but in the way land is cleared, and feed for animals is grown.
And also how the livestock emit methane, when it belches or farts, which is 23 times stronger as a climate-changing agent than the carbon dioxide."
