It's not that I deny the science--I'm sure that not eating meat will cut food-related carbon emissions in half. It's just that it's another wistful study that has no hope whatsoever of changing anything. Sure, a handful of people may be swayed by it and quit eating meat, but it will be akin to covering a half dozen holes in a sieve full of water--the water will ooze out a little more slowly, but all of it is still going to ooze out.
Just as Americans like to drive, Americans love to eat. Both may be to our detriment, but I hardly think any study is going to change the vast majority of Americans feelings toward them. We might as well tell our fellow Americans to quit watching TV, too.
Pipe dreams do not a change make.
