Food and Climate Change By Lora and Luca Decreasingyour carbonfootprint (and therebyyour contribution to globalwarming) can be done in lots of ways. Not using as muchenergyat home,driving less,and recyclingare some,but it alsohasa lot to do with what you eaLThe food systemis responsiblefor 33% of global greenhousegasemissions.This canbe a little weird to think about,but you haveto understandthe life cycleoffood. Takea burger for example:the cow had to be fed lots and lots of corn that was probablygrown by usingpesticides,Thosepesticideshad to be manufacturedin an energyintensiveprocess.When the corn was harvested,it was doneso not by human hands,but by hugetractors that burn fossil fuels.Then the beefwas packaged in nonbiodegradablepackagingand shippedacrossthe country to get to your plate, Breaklng it down, here are some ways that food affects climate change: FoodMiles The term "food miles" describespart ofthe energythat goesinto this process,It's just the distancebetweenwhere a food is producedand where it's consumed.The term'food miles' refers to the dlstance that a certain food travels to get to your plate. On average,food travels 1500 miles from 'farm to fork", The more local food you eat (either from farmersmarketsor your own garden),the lessfossil fuelsyou are responsiblefor. Sweeeet! FoodWaste When food is sent to a landfill, it staysthere for thousandsofyears insteadofdecomposing naturally.This is becauseit gets packedin too tight to breathe.lnstead,landfill waste createsmethanegas,which is a greenhousegas23 times more powerfirl than CO2,so it contributesto global warming in a really serlousway. We throw awayabout 1/3 of all the food we buy-- we throw away spoiledfood that we didn't use,leftoversthat couldbe saved for later, and lots ofvegetablescrapsthat could be composted.The averagehousehold throws away 474 poundsoffood wasteeveryyear.

Two words: Cow Farts,(Methane Gas) Fartsand burps are basicallypocketsofgas that get releasedfrom humanand animal bodies.Somegascomesfrom swallowingair and somecomesfrom digestingfood.Oneof the gasesfound in farts and burps is methane(remember:its way worse than COZ!),A cow emits 20 poundsof gasevery year.That's a loL In fact,add all ofthose cow farts together, and you have 18% of the WORLD'sgreenhousegasproblem.What to do?Eatlessmeat! Readon for somevegetariantlps, Pesticldes: The agricultureindustry usesover 50 million metric tons per year of petroleum-based fertilizer on Amerlcanfarms as insecticides,That's 20 times more pesticidein usethan when RachelCarsonwrote the famous 1952book 'Silent Sprin&" warning of environmental catastropheoccurringfrom pesticideoveruse. Packaging: Packagingis a hugepet peeveof mine. Mostthings you buy in a grocerystore havelots of packaging,., like granolabars that are individually wrapped and then put in a box or "snack slze"potato chlps,Biodegradableor compostablepackagnghas becomemore popular lately,but as I mentionedabove,things can't blodegradein landfills.Biodegradableplastic can't just be thrown into your compostpile; it needsan industrial composterto break it down. Not many placeshavethose industrial composters,so lots ofso-called environmentally-friendlypackagingis being sentto landfills just like everythingelse!

Almost six yearsago,I stoppedeatingmeat. I'd beenthinking about it for a while, but reading an old copy of A Dietfor a SmallPlanetwzsthe deciding factor. In it, the author, FrancesMoore Lappe points out that it takee an equivalent amount of land to raise the meat for one eteak as thirty to forqr serrings of rice. I found that I couldn't justi$' eating meat any longer. The environmenal and humanitarianimplicationsof using so much land were more than I caredto take tesponsibilityfor, I told my parentsI wasn't going to eatmeat anymoteand stockedup on veggieburgers. Since then, IVe leamed more about the reasons why to be vegearian. It akes much more fossil fuel to produce meat than it does to ptoduce the same numbet of calories of vegeable ptotein. Livestock farms also produce huge amounts of animal sewage, collected in what are called "waste lagoons" that can (and often do) scriously pollute the sutounding environment. I've also come to accePt the more personal reasons I have for being vegetarian: I don't like the way most livestock is mised, taken care of and butchered. For a long time, I dismissed this reason as too emotional to take seriously. Really though, we should be happy about the food we eat and if I don't like where it comes from, there's no good reason I should try to convince myself otherwise. I don't freak out when people are eating meat around me; I just don't eat it myself. Also, I've found that I feel bettet and healtliet whcn I'm eating a meat-ftee diet. Envitonmental reasons ate still the most important I have fot being vegetarian, but for me, it's really a little bit of everythhg. Does this mean I've eaten no meat at all in six years? Nope. I try to be practical and if there's some place I iust can't get a vegetadan meal, I'll cope. I have a loose set of tules for wheo I'll eat meat: foreign county where you iust can't make a good meal out of veggie food, if I saw it raised, caught or killed (when I lived on a boat fot three months, I ate fish whenever we caught it and it was fantemc) ot if it will seriously offend someone. As for what I've learned about bontto be vegetarian, here atc a few pointers: . Know what your reasofrs are. You won't necessanly have to justi$r vegetarianism to othets, but it helps if you fustifr it cleady to youtself. r Educate yourcelf about vegetariao nuffition and get to know the kitchen. . Be ptepated. Depending on where you live and what your family eats, it can be very easy, pretty difficult ot any'lvhete in benveen to eat vegetarian.

Think outside the ftozen soy protein bugett processed meat substitutes never taste't'iL good as food you cook yourselfand they get old pretty quick. Instead, try foods"rand meals that are not ashamed of being m""rt-fr.e, 6utthet on in this issue, there is a section of tecipes arong with cookbook recommendationst) Be on the look out for meaty recipes that don't teally need meau lasagna, ' stir fries, cutries, casseroles,soups, quiche... yoo get the idea, The protein fix is important. If you'te running shoft on ptotein (and your ' body will tell you when you are!) peanut butter and crackers, ,, o, turo, or a "gg veggie burger will usually do the trick. Be flexible.

Some,for instance,are trying to cut down on the meat and disposables[paper towels, paper plates,etc.) they purchase.

then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Once most of the water has been absorbed, add spices and tomatoes. Continue to cook until all lentils are soft (they'll loose their shape almost entirely). Serve on rice or on its own and sprinkle with toasted almonds or coconut flakes (or both! You can toast them dry in a pan over low heat. Just don't add any oil and stir them regularly so they won't burn). Dahl is also great with yoghurt fresh fruit on the side: sliced bananas, oranges or pineapples are my favorites.

what it might mean for the environment. I was very impressed by the author's description of how food was harvested against its apparently natural design. I had never considered how strange it was to eat asparagus In December. I had no idea why some tomatoes tasted excellent while others were hard and bland. I didn't know anything about the production of poultry or meats either and I had never considered what "organic" meant or how such a positive attribute could, sometimes, cost more than it may be worth (see the book for an explanation of this label and why some farmers choose to / must avoid using it). The book really struck a chord with the concept of local foods. I never considered how far fruit must travel to reach my table in the winter or how much gasoline is used to move a coconut from Hawaii to Vermont. That sort of thing started to resonate with me personally as I began to pay attention to labels and then correlated good flavor with a shorter commute. In other words, I finally learned why a vine ripened tomato from 15 minutes away tastes better than a gas ripened monster from thousands of miles from your home. I could even see the result in my daughter's eating preferences. She still loves bananas, but until we started buying locally, she would not eat a cucumber. Now, after reading the book I have started to consider ingredients, chemicals, and place of harvest in my food choices. I feel like a better consumer, and if the statistics in this book are accurate, I am helping to save quite a lot of fossil fuels by choosing local foods over distantly imported equivalents and exotics. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle ties environmentalism, biology, genetics, and gourmet cooking into one logical lump that encourages the reader to pay more attention to the local economy, foods, the environment, and taste. Further, It gives many tangible reasons why it Is Important to carefully consider what you eat.

Making a Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights

by Bob Tc

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver (HarperCollins, 2008) Review by Dan O. I work in a library as a research librarian, and for weeks my wife kept asking me to borrow a copy of Barbara Klngsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle but it was constantly checked out. I even tried the public library. Finally she found a copy and began reading it. After the first few chapters she warned me that she'd like to buy a copy because it was not only informative, but there were a lot of promising recipes as well.

Eventually, I was told that I must also read this book. I bought her a copy and when she was done I picked it up and started on my own literary local food adventure. Have you ever taken a long road trip and noticed that the food seems to be the same, to taste the same, almost everywhere in the USA? I did too, but I never considered why or

Reviewed by Richard W. If you need a good reason to stop consuming animal products and are interested in sustainability of the planet earth I would suggest this book. Bob Torres looks at veganism in a different light than most are used to. In one sense, he says the way that animals are slaughtered and the facilities and ways they reach our dinner plate are not sustainable in the least, and are 1n fact degrading for the animals, the planet, and ourselves. In another sense, Torres sees animals as members of a struggling class that are killed to work, as an oppressed group that needs to be included and viewed as part of the greater view of the global planet, and as unrecognized victims of oppression. Torres cuts through all the junk and goes straight to veganism, showing how some things acceptable in vegetarianism are in fact biproducts of the meat industry and are thus linked to its success as an industry. The ideas of specism, domination, hierarchy, non-sustainability, unnecessary commodities, and many others are applied to the realm of animal liberation and make for an interesting social anarchist/post-Marxist perspective at a major aspect of our lives: how we get what we eat and how it Is made, both in animal and non-animal foods. There Is an interesting link between the animal liberation movement and the environmental movement here too: Torres compares how both have been pop-culturetrendifled, a move that gets the masses to accept the concerns as legitimate problems, but on the most basic, and even sometimes, false levels. It is a call to question the status quo of a system that feeds off oppression and exploitation. To educate ourselves to better understand the lives we lead. To re-evaluate that foods r-
