VEGETARIAN AND “HEALTHY” DIETS COULD BE MORE HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Carnegie Mellon Study Finds Eating Lettuce Is More Than Three Times Worse in Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than Eating Bacon

http://www.cmu.edu/news/...iet-and-environment.html
“I sometimes marvel at how far I’ve come - blissful, even, in the knowledge that I am slowly becoming a well-evolved human being - only to have the illusion shattered by an episode of bad behaviour that contradicts the new and reinforces the old. At these junctures of self-reflection, I ask the question: “are all my years of hard work unraveling before my eyes, or am I just having an episode?” For the sake of personal growth and the pursuit of equanimity, I choose the latter and accept that, on this journey of evolution, I may not encounter just one bad day, but a group of many.”
― B.G. Bowers

Sure, if you're getting lettuce shipped from around the world, but if it's possible to eat locally produced food, and restrict yourself to what's in season, the carbon footprint will fall pretty dramatically.

Not everyone has access to those kinds of local grow operations and co-ops, but I think a big part of this is the fact that we want fresh Pineapple in December.

It's the Onion, just disguised as CMU. It's most certainly the self-centered US lifestyle that causes the greenhouse gas emissions, not the diet pattern. It even seems to me that this study has only been fabricated for junk media headlines to dumb down the population even more.

Quote:
Dietary greenhouse gas emissions of meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK

The age-and-sex-adjusted mean (95 % confidence interval) GHG emissions in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents per day (kgCO2e/day) were 7.19 (7.16, 7.22) for high meat-eaters ( > = 100 g/d), 5.63 (5.61, 5.65) for medium meat-eaters (50-99 g/d), 4.67 (4.65, 4.70) for low meat-eaters ( < 50 g/d), 3.91 (3.88, 3.94) for fish-eaters, 3.81 (3.79, 3.83) for vegetarians and 2.89 (2.83, 2.94) for vegans. In conclusion, dietary GHG emissions in self-selected meat-eaters are approximately twice as high as those in vegans. It is likely that reductions in meat consumption would lead to reductions in dietary GHG emissions.

And because it's fitting - the US pollutes the environment twice the time per capita compared to China or the EU.
