The solution is simple: eat less meat and processed food. For the past couple months I've been trying hard to avoid crap food, eating mostly fruit, vegetables, and unprocessed foods, and really, it's not that bad. I can live with eating meat infrequently.

You have to eat local organic food.
If you just eat fruit in general it's not from anywhere near you.

I get organic or locally grown fruit and vegetables when I can, but that's unfortunately impossible living in Canada, since it's impossible to grow fruit and vegetables half the year. Avoiding meat is instantly good for the environment, though.

They probably don't take into account the manufacturing costs of building a car, either. I don't actually own a car, so I'm sure that saves some pollution.

Additionally, do you really eat more when you walk to the store? Personally, I eat the same amount no matter what I do. If I walk to the store, I burn some energy, and if I don't, it gets turned into fat or whatever. That's probably the main reason that that article has issues -- people don't generally eat more when they exercise.

<edit> incidentally, the article talks more about refrigeration emissions than anything, which means if you avoid frozen meals and other crap like that, you're helping. Avoid beef and frozen meals, and you're set.

<edit2> This quote is awesome:
Quote
“The way he is running around telling people they should shoot cows,” Lawrence Hunt, head of Silverjet, another budget airline, told the Commons Environmental Audit Committee. “I do not think you can really have debates with somebody with that mentality.”
That's totally an ad hominem attack, totally meaningless. And it seems to imply that supports of meat eating don't want cows to be killed? Guys.. cows are killed every day, but he doesn't say you support "running around telling people they should kill cows."

Enviromentalists are douchebags. I shall continue to eat meat as long as it tastes good, and there are animals left to turn into it.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

And when animals run out, we'll turn to the handicapped and eldery for our source of meat. And after them, little cihldren. We'll have (as suggested by Hitmen) farms of human beings for the sole purpose of consumption.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Eating human meat would cause our brains to sponge and we'd die.

Don't eat anything, and just drink water and mineral water.

I will continue to drink my mineral water, eat my broccoli and love my meat all night long.
