Foods That Have a Big Carbon Footprint | Dr. Neal Barnard

from The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee · host The Physicians Committee

Which foods have the biggest carbon footprint? Find out as Dr. Neal Barnard explores research showing how your breakfast, lunch, and dinner all impact the environment when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room™.   Dr. Barnard also delves into a study showing that diets that are healthier for you can slash your annual carbon emissions by nearly a half-ton! Indeed, in the battle of vegan diets and those featuring meat and dairy, there is a clear environmental winner.   Plus, Chuck opens the archives to unearth a conversation with Martin Heller, PhD, about Burger King's supposedly eco-friendly Whopper. The restaurant claims that its beef produces 1/3 less methane emissions. But are those claims true or does their flatulence science actually flatline? Find out!   This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by Kinder Beauty. A portion of sales of their cruelty-free beauty boxes goes directly to support the Physicians Committee. Every Kinder Beauty Box is 100% vegan and kinder for the planet, the animals, and your skin!   — — — Kinder Beauty https://kinderbeauty.com — — — Healthy Diet, Healthy Environment Study https://bit.ly/2Qmhzyv — — — Plant-Based Climate Summit https://youtu.be/dxzSfiFz3fo?t=27 — — — Chuck Carroll IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Barnard Medical Center Telemedicine Schedule Appointment https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook YouTube: https://bit.ly/PCRMYouTube — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.
