  Can you answer the question about the carbon footprint of manufacturing plant based foods? The study on corn ethanol looks so-so, however it's only one study and has a lot of disclaimers about possible problems in methodology. They claim the difference could be as low as zero and as high as 24%. They also are quite strong in saying biofuels must be a part of managing carbon. Just that we need something more efficient than corn. And some scientists have already found problems with the study.[1] As far as the numbers being the same for sugar cane, that's completely wrong. It produces close to double the fuel.
