Are you making the environment fat with the global-warming emissions emanating from your plate? The average American meal produces 3.3 pounds of carbon dioxide. Overall, the food system accounts for one-third of global greenhouse emissions.
Bon Appetit Management, which runs cafes in 28 states and major metro areas, including Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and Boston, has created a handy online tool that allows you to calculate the total carbon emissions of your breakfast, lunch, or dinner choices. Simply drag and drop standard menu items such as Chinese chicken salad, a beef-and-cheese burrito, and pepperoni pizza, and the calculator will tally up the number of carbon emissions your selections have produced.
The Web site also offers tips on how you can help the planet drop some extra pounds. ::Low Carbon Diet Calculator
