Canadian research from 2016 shows that beef cattle emit about 3.6 percent of the country’s greenhouse gas production, compared to 25 percent for Canada’s transportation sector.
In 2015, National Geographic ran a story with the headline, “Eating a burger or driving a car, which harms the planet more?”
That sort of news has plagued the cattle industry for the last decade, causing a few consumers to conclude that eating beef is as socially acceptable as lighting up a cigarette at a baby’s baptism.
