What we eat can make a large difference in reducing climate warming. Shifting our meat choices to animals that are produced with less feed — and therefore take much less energy — reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, land use and heating of the atmosphere. Twenty-five percent of all world agricultural lands are used to produce grain, hay and pasture just to produce beef for human consumption. If this land were used to grow rice, wheat or corn to feed people directly, it could feed over 10 times the number of people. ~ Nancy Chandler
