Earth to PETA
Meat is not the No. 1 cause of global warming. Yet our diet is cooking the planet, and one surprising staple turns down the heat.
By Liz Galst [2007-10-22]

  • does this make sense?

    This article contains the claim "Americans who eat poultry, dairy and eggs, but not red meat, are responsible for fewer greenhouse gases than those who consume a vegetarian diet that includes dairy and eggs."

    Can someone explain to me how this makes sense? Everything else being equal, if you eat poultry, you are responsible for fewer greenhouse gases than someone who doesn't eat poultry? Is this what is being claimed or am I missing something?
