This chart shows foods and the amounts of greenhouse gases they produce

I am going to start doing “Meatless Monday” and eating lentils more. Why lentils? Look at the chart. Lentils, and the greenhouses gases given off through the process of shipping and cooking etc. is more than 27 times less than beef. EAT LENTILS!
If you want to eat meat, the best option for the environment is chicken. Why? Look at the chart again. Of all the meats, chicken gives off the least greenhouse gases. (Not so) Fun fact: 40% of America’s food gets thrown away.
