I meant 2/3 of your personal food emissions. I'm aware that this is not the solution, but it's a very easy step and no solution will be enough without us changing what we eat.

So 2/3 of something that wasn't that much to start with. Got it.

Theres a reason people go with published peer reviewed journals and not the data sheets of non profits who refuse to disclose their sources of income. The link to the journal they're referring to is in the article:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding-meat-and-dairy-is-single-biggest-way-to-reduce-your-impact-on-earth

The data used in thr screen grabs you have also, very deliberately, separated the energy and transportation used by the meat industry, as separate things not used by the meat industry

this fluff piece uses a quote from the author of a power reviewed article which is not in that power reviewed article. their study does not support the quoted claim
