What is shitty about this? It's not Michelin star but it's not fucking McDonalds.
I would eat that.
But you have to admit: it's not the healthiest meal you could think of, and most importantly, its carbon footprint is huge.
Also I don’t know how to make lentils so it doesn’t suck
for food coma purposes, koshari is great and easy
I guess I'm a lib because when I see a burger I'm not thinking about carbon footprints.
its carbon footprint is huge.
the murdered cow is ~15.452kg of carbon emissions, assuming two 75g burger patties
spuds are ~0.043
toms are ~0.164
cheese is ~0.964
the bun is ~0.115What's your source on these? I used a pretty basic estimator the other day to compute my personal total emissions and it appears that food is my largest source of emissions (thank you hydroelectric power and public transports). I'd like to find more detailed info.
Only thing I could find for the beef is from an FAO report:
Average emission intensities are 2.8 kg CO2-eq per kg of fat and protein corrected milk for milk and 46.2 kg CO2-eq per kg of carcass weight for beef.
It seems that this number is much higher than yours because they compute total GHG emissions (including methane and nitrous oxide - much higher than carbon dioxide alone for beef), and convert them to CO2-eq to give a total figure.
used the calculator on the bbc website, then did some maths
bear in mind that the footprint of things changes depending on where you live
