Martin Heller is one of those people. He’s an engineer at the University of Michigan’s Center for Sustainable Systems and one of several researchers who published a paper in Environmental Research Letters assessing how much variability there is in the greenhouse gas emissions of American diets. And it turns out the answer is: a lot. Forty six percent of the total emissions from food came from the diets of just one-fifth of the population.
Mostly that’s because those people eat a lot more meat than the others, especially methane-spewing beef. Animal protein jacks up the emissions for the top consumers, while the ecologically-minded folks at the bottom consume more plant proteins.

Is this saying that 20% of people are responsible for 50% of farts?
I fart in her general direction!
“BLAAAAT!!”
Bull. They’re trying to obscure vegan farts with cow farts.
I like cheeseburgers and bacon, not sorry.
GMTA.
I fart... and I have a compost pile, too.
“Is this saying that 20% of people are responsible for 50% of farts?”
i think so ... after all, they ARE talking about “food-based emissions” (though i suppose that could include burping as well)
She is a fool
She piles lies on top of lies to reach a conclusion that is a lie
She is an American enemy.
Now pull my finger.
I fart, therefore I am.
I feel a food based emission coming on right now....
No obvious bias there.
Using virtue signalling surveys to try to extrapolate actual data... Right, into the round filing basket you go.
Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in your belly efter the feastie
Just as ye sit doon among yer kin
There sterts to stir an enormous wind
The neeps and tatties and mushy peas
Stert workin like a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin wi the sauncie face
Will have ye blawin all ower the place
Nae matter whit the hell ye dae
A’body’s gonnae hiv tae pay
Even if ye try tae stifle
It’s like a bullet oot a rifle
Hawd yer bum tight tae the chair
Tae try and stop the leakin air
Shifty yersel fae cheek tae cheek
Prae tae God it doesnae reek
But aw yer efforts go assunder
Oot it comes like a clap o thunder
Ricochets aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom
God almighty it fairly reeks
Hope I huvnae shit my breeks
Tae the bog I better scurry
Aw whit the hell it’s no ma worry
A’body roon aboot me chokin
Wan or two are nearly bokin
I’ll feel better for a while
Cannae help but raise a smile
Wiz him! I shout with accusin glower
Alas too late, he’s just keeled ower
Ye dirty bugger they shout and stare
A dinnae feel welcome any mair
Where e’ere ye go let yer wind gan’ free
Sounds like just the job fur me
Whit a fuss at rabbie’s party
Ower the sake o one wee farty
Broccolli farts.
Beans, beans, good for your heart! The more you eat, the more you fart! The more you fart, the better you feel, so eat some beans at every meal!
Oh, my god will they get over it. I eat meat. Not only meat. I eat fish and dairy as well. Some green veggies and nuts too. But meat is what Irish German people have eaten for 60,000 years. And thats just the part we know about. And buy the way. The world has had more CO2 than now for almost all of its existence. And its been warmer for most of the earths existence as well.
When it comes to air quality, I think they are wasting our time chewing out the US. Take a look at this map:
