Already did. Who knew being poor was good for the enviornment?

I gave up meat entirely about 18 years ago. Also, my wife and I grew (organically) and canned about 65 quarts of heirloom tomatoes and probably grew/preserved/ate 500 jalapenos and ~300 bell peppers and tons of other stuff. I didn't start doing it to reduce my carbon footprint but, in retrospect, it's probably the highest impact change we've made to our lifestyle with regard to that. And, whoa, do we eat so, so, so much better than we ever used to.

(I'm also a total PBJ whore with homemade 100% whole wheat sandwich bread and hand-picked homemade wild berry jam. Yes, yes, we're total overachievers...)

eh....

I think their numbers are grossly oversimplified, and since I eat locally grown, organic beef from milk cows that eat oxeye daisies and other natural vegetation (think free roaming cows 60 miles from the DNC Convention site - too bad you'll be too busy blogging to join me for a visit!) these numbers just do not apply.

They do apply, perhaps, if you're eating fast food burgers, with the exception of Good Times ( a local chain that gets their beef from a very long time supplier 100 miles south of us ).

I think these numbers are more for the urbanites and suburban types who shop conventional grocery stores, and even some Whole Foods stores.

I get my milks from those cows, too, before they're slaughtered for meat, so I seriously question the PB&J broad stroke about yields. If you're not drinking raw milk, you're drinking trash. I could write a whole book about its benefits. Oh wait, Dr. Preston Price already did: http://realmilk.org/

And since you live in PA, you might be interested in raw milk, the illegal substance. Click on the link above and you'll see who was arrested and why. I'd like the PB&J Campaign numbers on how much carbon impact Mark Nolt's arrest had on his family and community.

PB&J is a death sandwich for me. I'm diabetic.
