Just fun to see that writers at publications many many many times my size don’t do basic googling background checks 😅

Many believe a significant way to address #climatechange is to 'eat local,’ but that’s not always true. The impact all depends on the kind of #food + how & where it’s produced.
Some foods require fewer resources (water, energy) in some parts of the world. Season can be important. Overall, transportation has a much lower carbon footprint than land use change. And so on.
So instead of ‘eat local,’ let’s go with ‘eat thoughtfully.’ ourworldindata.org/food-choice…
You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
'Eat local' is a common recommendation to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. How does the impact of what you eat compare to where it's come from?Our World in Data
just wanted to share this answer I got from a friend ex-biologist:
False. Eat cows to save the planet. Biogenic carbon cycling is not an issue. The people that produce that data are too smart and arogant for their own good. Or vegetarian propagandists. "The ends justifies the means" folks. Sure, we can (and do) raise ruminants in stupid ways, which contributes more carbon, but not eating ruminants is a bad solution, putting in proper grazing regs is the proper solution.
I also am ruminating, now, about wild (ruminant) game. Both local and reducing population would seem to reduce the antelope farts. 🤷♂️
