Americans eat significantly more red meat than most people on the planet (57 pounds a year per person on average versus 14 pounds globally), so there's plenty of reason to think about the impact that consumption has on the planet. One-third of planet-warming emissions can be attributed to the food system, and beef is the top offender. Now researchers have found a way to make consumers take a closer look at how their diet impacts the climate and perhaps consider skipping that burger and instead ordering chicken, fish, or vegetarian options when ordering fast food.
