Meat Consumption and CO2 Emissions

NY Times had an interesting article about the rise in CO2 emissions as more people eat meat.  I knew that meat consumption affected the environment, but did not understand the magnitude.

From the chart, you can see what the alternatives to meat cost.  Time to eat more chicken instead of beef.  Yes becoming a vegetarian helps, but that is a difficult step for most to make.
