Livestock create a beefy portion of all greenhouse-gas emissions: 18 percent, according to the United Nations. Could the answer be as simple as two slices of bread and a slathering of peanut butter and jelly? Perhaps. Compared with a burger, this classic sandwich saves as much as 2.5 pounds of carbon dioxide, 280 gallons of water, and 50 square feet of land--even more if you wash it down with a glass of soy milk. "You don't have to change your whole diet to change the world," says the PB&J Campaign. "Just start with lunch." |

1. Too many people are deathly allergic to peanuts;
2. Jelly is poisonous to people with diabetes;
3. Some people just plain detest one or the other.
I bet some people eating beans cause at least that much in emissions!
There are many other meat-less options available. Pasta salad, bean soup, vegetable soup, salads, etc......
I LOVE peanut butter!
they have tons of flavors
My relatives were either native to America...or came from France, Scotland and the likes.
