White people’s eating habits produce most greenhouse gases
University of Illinois at Chicago website ^ | March 27, 2019

White individuals disproportionately affect the environment through their eating habits by eating more foods that require more water and release more greenhouse gases through their production compared to foods black and Latinx individuals eat, according to a new report published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology.

The report takes an in-depth look at what different demographic populations eat, how much greenhouse gas those foods are responsible for, and how much land and water they require. The study was undertaken to get a better understanding of the environmental impacts of the food consumption patterns of major demographic groups so that environmental policies designed to reduce negative impacts of food production could be drafted that take these differences into account.

“The food pipeline – which includes its production, distribution and waste – contributes significantly to climate change through the production of greenhouse gases and requires significant amounts of water and land, which also has environmental effects,” said Joe Bozeman, a student in the University of Illinois at Chicago Institute for Environmental Science and Policy and first author on the paper. “If we are to draft policies related to food, they can’t be one-size-fits-all policies because different populations have different eating patterns which have their own unique impacts on the environment.”

How does the color of skin determine what is eaten? There are people who are white that are extremely dark skinned. There are people who are black who are extremely light skinned. And tons of people in both who are in the middle. Crazy.

Some school principal in Portland argued that PB&J was associated with White privilege. Included it as an example of "subtle" racism (micro-aggression?), in a "lesson plan" (Indoctrination session).

“What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez said.

Does this mean that Blacks and Latins need more fresh vegetables in their diets?

“Insert Jew for white and we are talking about 1935 all over again.”

“They just trotted out the old playbook, and made one change.”

...except that in the 30’s they were coherent enough to target a small minority, rather than the majority.

That “question” has already been asked; some stupid article in a college news rag asked it and came to the same conclusion as they did for “the Jewish question.”

The article is on FR; can’t remember the title.

A majority that won’t defend itself may as well be a tiny minority.

Well, there you have it. I’ve said before: They mean to impoverish us, imprison us, and kill us.

Plan accordingly.

Wow. I tried to think how it could possibly be construed as racist. Now I know.

Someone should of brought up that Black “peanut guy”...

“That’s actually what they have in mind. Literally.”

See my tag line.

It sure seems like they’re agitating for a race war…

I’m guessing if someone wanted to look and accurately report, the diet of the snobbish Hollywood and Manhattan elites who trumpet the global warming nonsense is infinitely more damaging to the environment. Caviar, anyone?
