I don't understand this. Is this based on CO2? Because I feel worse about pigs being killed, they are smarter than cows, and so subject to even more psychological horror in the factory farm. And lamb is horrible because a lamb is just a baby sheep. Sheep naturally live something like 8 years, but a lamb is a sheep that was killed at less than one year old.
Seriously, vegetables, soy beans, and lentils are suuuper tasty.
- epolanski 2y agoIt's based on an overall environmental impact per pound of meat. Cattle produce a lot of methane while digesting, which is 200 times worse for the environment than CO2. Beef also requires way more food and water. Pigs produce much less methane and require less resources thus they are greener overall.

The fishing methods impacts the marine populations and ecosystems
