Is this saying that Mac n cheese is worse for the environment* than turkey?

*Produces more CO^2

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yes

The single dish with the highest carbon footprint is not the meat — it’s the mac n cheese.

Yeah the dairy industry is truly awful for the environment, far worse than all poultry industries. If we magically eliminated cows and pigs, the resulting meat eating of just fish and poultry wouldn't really be a talking point in terms of CO2 emissions.
