Lettuce is ‘three times worse than bacon’ for emissions and vegetarian diets could be bad for environment. Yet another case of touchy-feely PC being WRONG.
Lettuce is “over three times worse in greenhouse gas emissions than eating bacon”, according to researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University who analysed the impact per calorie of different foods in terms of energy cost, water use and emissions.

IT'S BACON!!!!!
I'm currently eating a BLT... :D
PUT DOWN THAT LETTUCE, YOU CLIMATE DESTROYER!!
Some people just don't care what happens to this planet.
Oh sure, make us all jealous!
Soon the vegans will be down to eating only tree bark and die off. I guess they never read anything published by Darwin.
Rabbit food is called rabbit food for a reason, it's for rabbits! All that green, leafy crap experts talk about are good for herbivores, not humans. All we need is beans, meat and potatoes, everything else is just filler without any nutritional value.
Actually, that is incorrect. Humans are omnivores, which means we est everything. While protein in the form of meat was frequently scare back when, in every area of the world there are vegetable protein substitutes, which combined provide complete proteins. As soon as we quit the hunting gathering things, we ate eggs, milk, honey, and other animal products as well. I have no problem with increasing our veggie and fruit consumption, since they provide nutrients not available in meat. But the idea that we should all become vegan, or eat raw food, or gluten free (for those not affected by gluten) and all the other crazy dietary crap, its ludicrous. Properly raised and produced food, in reasonable amounts is all that we need. With todays availability of a wide variety of food from everywhere, we should rely on a varied diet. Oh, and the ONLY place to.get B12 is in animal products, a clear indication that we were intended to eat meat.
without lettuce AND bacon, no BLTs!!!!
Skip the lettuce, add more bacon and tomatoes. (snicker)
I prefer no lettuce, and my tomatoes in the form of ketchup.
Skip the lettuce, tomato, mayo, and bread. Just give me a slice of bacon. Jowl bacon is the best!
What about a pig that eats lettuce???????
Liberal heads are exploding as we speak, climate change is caused by lettuce..that is funny..Time for vegans and climate change morons to jump off a cliff en mass.
"Lettuce" have Bacon for lunch... :)
HA HA! Take that you vegan loons.
Point-blank insanity, there is no other name for it.
