    The less animal the better, but a shift away from beef and lamb is a start, and it’s something that in the US, relatively few people realize has an impact.

      Absolutely. However i often get the feeling that people do not really care (due to beeing stressed, occupied or something, i do not want to judge). Can’t hurt to spread the awareness though.

        No, they’re ruminants, with similar methane-producing bacteria in their digestive systems.

        Lamb is less polluting per calorie than beef is, but worse than most other foods. So “relatively low-impact” is true if the thing it’s relative to is farmed beef, but not to potatoes or even chicken
