Oh My … more bad news for those (34% of Americans) who are obese.
In a study released by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine scientists found that overweight people emit more carbon emissions than slim people, because they consume more food and fuel.
The study pointed a finger at the increased demand for livestock production for meat. Cows emit toxic methane. The research also sited higher dependency on cars as a contributing factor.
“The heavier our bodies become the harder and more unpleasant it is to move about in them and the more dependent we become on our cars.”
As I read this information, it seemed clear to me that the global warming blamed on obese people is overwhelmingly a by-product of more meat (toxic methane) and the increased use of cars (carbon emissions).
So let’s be clear to not blame ‘fat’ people, once again. Let’s agree that it’s a good idea to eat less meat, drive less and move more and reverse global warming and obesity trends.
After all, slim people eat meat and drive, too.
