Mark … oooooh … yummy math! Keep up with the veggie diet, and make sure you take an extra 35 pounds or so of extra weight along with you!
Thought you’d enjoy the math(s)!
Science does not support his claims, not even close. Per calorie, a head of lettuce is three times worse than the equivalent amount of bacon. Go back to being smug.
But he made the point that a vegan/ vegetarian diet doesn’t rely on lettuce. Also he did not take into account the carbon footprint of producing/ maintaining/ repairing cars v. bikes plus maintaining roads v. bike paths and I’m sure there’s so much more. Who said life’s simple?
What about the relative carbon footprint of making the car as against making the bike? Living as I do in a grass eating sheep area with no green veg or grain growers in sight, my veggie diet might have some way to travel compared with a a plate of lamb stew with turnips and potatoes.
