1:20:12Now PlayingThe usual reaction to scarfing down a slice of pizza is: how will this affect my diet?
The Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, and more and more Americans, now look at the food we all eat and ask: how does this affect our world's carbon diet?
Chairman Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee began looking into the process and choices our nation makes regarding food and agriculture and how those choices affect our environment, specifically the "carbon footprint" of how we grow, raise, transport, package, dispose of and otherwise provide sustenance to Americans and people around the world. And while changing the way the world creates and consumes energy is the most effective way to combat global warming, so-called "lifestyle" choices like the food we eat will play an increasing role in how to make immediate cuts in the pollution that causes global warming.
