via EurekaAlert: *Why eating less can help the environment*

Virtuous circle alert...

Study finds a healthier diet and a return to traditional farming can help reduce energy consumption in US food system by 50 percent

50 percent?! Holy crap! So now we have another benefit to eating less:

  • trim our phat arses
  • live longer
  • support small family farms
  • stick it to the man (think of any industrial ag company and then think of not giving them your money)
  • save money
  • eat healthier chow

I'm sure there are others I have forgotten.

Why does this list seem so obvious? Why does it seem so hard to follow through on?
