How our diet affects global warming
Considering the fact that livestock and food production systems are responsible for 18% of the greenhouse gases that affect global warming, you'd think we'd be more interested in exactly how the food we eat contributes to this number. Interestingly enough, this 18% is more than cars, planes and all other transportation combined. So how can we learn more about the eco-impact of our food choices? Enter The Global Warming Diet, by Chef Laura Stec with Eugene Cordero, Professor of Meteorology at San Jose State.This book highlights how our food choices affect climate change and vice versa. It also offers genuine solutions to the problems including real facts on transporting food, land use problems, cooking classes, recipes and other self-help systems for a true Low-Carb(on) diet.
