Have you ever sat down in a restaurant and felt instantly drawn to a particular dish on the menu? The reason might be something as simple as that you love the dish’s main ingredient, but it’s often more than that. It could be the item’s placement on the menu, its name, even whom you saw eating it as you crossed the restaurant. Understanding all the factors that attract us to certain foods is a growing area of research, with enormous potential for addressing something unexpected: climate change. Agriculture — and the changes in land-use it necessitates — accounts for about 25% of
What...? MInd your own business

Man made global warming is actually a lot of hot air from narcissistic self-centered columnists spewing their inane comments...think of the energy it took for their BS to reach you, whether it was killing trees for paper, burning fossil fuels for electricity to reach your devices. They themselves contribute immensely to the carbon footprint!

Wonderful! When we are perusing the menu we will soon see the Climate Change impact information listed right below the calorie, cholesterol, heart impact and MSG values. I can't wait.

And how much damage did you inflect on Mother Earth by writing this crap and getting it online? OMG I am so sick of this foolishness. It still all boils down to control and money. And the fact that the elites will never adhere to the insane laws they will hold us to. BBQ steaks tonight, baked potato, salad and probably some good bread. I refuse to eat bean curd and seaweed to satisfy the foolish notion that somehow it will make the world a better place. LEAVE US ALONE.

Comrade, Either you eat what the State tells you to eat or you will be shipped off to a Gulag.

But, but, but, I thought that the left wanted everyone to be able to do anything they wanted with their own bodies (and with those “parasites” residing inside their wombs.). They are still telling the government to back off on their “reproductive health” and they are still pushing dangerous behavior such as homosexuality and smoking weed, but they want to tell us what to eat.
Agree with #2 - get off the planet!

NOT EVER. "Climate change" to whatever degree it MIGHT be occurring, is NOT affected in any way by anything that mankind does. And it sure as hell isn't affected by what I choose to eat for lunch, you fascist control-freak nutcase idiots.

Even eating is politicized. To quote Dennis Prager, "The left ruins everything it touches."

How about all those who believe in global warming quit eating meat, and only plants? See? Problem solved! And while they are at it, forego their big gas-guzzling vehicles and ride the bus. No bus near you? Well, WALK! I can think of a number of other ways they can help while leaving our beef alone.

The author and many reading his column take all this nonsense seriously. Come to think of it, my grandmother had an old fashioned expression for Leftist activists: crackpots. I guess the latter is ambiguous these days, but drugs notwithstanding, I'm in favor of bringing it back. These people are crackpots.

I thought it was bad enough when I go to McDonalds and can't get a Small, Medium, or Large. Now all that's listed are the calories. Sorry, ladies or all you health nuts, I could care less how many calories it has. I want to to buy it by size. Now I suppose they will list everything by how much impact it has on the climate... "The beef hamburger will raise global temperatures by 2 degrees! Better get the tofu burger."
No, I don't want the Tofu Burger. Give me the real beef and hold the sprouts.

"They" cant force you what to eat ( yet), but the nudge , nudge , nudge will never stop. The nudge has been successful with getting people to self censor their themselves via " hate speech". Don't give on to this garbage, at any level.

Do any of the leftist enviromentalists realise the plants emit a lot of CO2 at night? I learned that in biology in 1960.

The only thing to consider when ordering in a restaurant, is what do you like!

The protesters in the little pink caps carry painted signs that say (paraphrased).
Stay Out Of My Orifice!
And they aren’t referencing an office cubicle.
What’s good for the goose...

Newspaper ink is hazardous to the environment. Also, think of all the trees, sacrificed for newspaper! Then, all the trucks that transport the paper to pickup points, and then all the vehicles to deliver to residences- all over the whole LA area!
It's enough to make little Greta frown!

Hmmm, no hamburgers or beef...Cow Farts.
No chicken or fish, we can't offend them...
No Veggies, they have rights.
No liquids, they are made from Oil.
I guess we have to all starve to death...Libs, YOU go first and show us the way!

Are you possessed over food or just what I eat ? Back off, get a hobby. Leave the country. Not nearly as much food to get stressed over in Argentina.
