Fakten über die vegane Ernährung / Tierschutzrecht / Die Militante Veganerin by NatureFreaks / Swisssthetics / Rationalfood

Remember, there is no just food waste related to foods that you 🗑, but even overeating is contributing to climate change! Not only you get fat, you get disease, you waste money, you get depressed due to your body, etc.

With overeating you contribute to climate change!

The waste of resources and the unnecessary ecological cost due to an excessive consumption of foods leading to obesity have been ignored so far. Metabolic Food Waste [MFW(kg of food)] corresponds to the amount of food leading to Excess Body Fat (EBF) and its impact on the environment, expressed as carbon [MFW(kgCO2eq)], water [MFW(×10 L) ] and land footprint [MFW(×10 m2 ) ].

In terms of ecological impact, EU and NAO displayed the highest values for all three MFW footprints (water, land, carbon), about 14 times more than SSA that, as for the MFW(tons of food), is the area with lowest ecological impact (Table 2). The water footprint for EU and NAO was similar but almost double with respect to LA and 10 times more with respect to the ones with lowest impact (SSA). In terms of GHG emissions, EU was in first place followed by NAO and LA, also here the footprint of EU was almost 10 times more than SSA.

Regarding land use, EU was the first followed by NAO and LA, with a land use of about 15 times higher than SSA.

Figure 2B shows total water footprint (as mio m3 ) from MFW in the seven regions: dairy products/milk/eggs and meat/offals as a whole contribute to more than 70% in EU and NAO.

Figure 2A shows the contribution of commodities to total GHG emissions by geographical area. Dairy products/milk/eggs and meat/offals have the highest values in EU and NAO, then alcohol.

Obesity is a social challenge that is rising in almost all countries with detrimental effects for human and planet health. In this work we showed that the overall impact of MFW(tons of food) associated with overweight and obesity in the world is 140.7 gigatons of food waste, with EU and NAO with the highest ecological impact for water, land and carbon footprints

Ausgaben für Nahrungsmittel, 2015–2017

Paarhaushalte mit Kindern geben durchschnittlich 838 Franken pro Monat für Nahrungsmittel aus. Davon werden 198 Franken für Fleisch, 182 Franken für Früchte und Gemüse, 134 Franken für Milchprodukte, 56 Franken für Süssigkeiten und 34 Franken für Fisch aufgewendet (Grafik 10.2).

Die Quote der materiellen Entbehrung wird beschrieben als finanziell bedingter Mangel in mindestens drei von neun europaweit koordinierten Kategorien: In der Lage sein, innerhalb eines Monats unerwartete Ausgaben in der Höhe von 2500 Franken zu tätigen; in der Lage sein, eine Woche Ferien pro Jahr weg von zu Hause zu finanzieren; keine Zahlungsrückstände haben; in der Lage sein, jeden zweiten Tag eine fleisch- oder fischhaltige Mahlzeit (oder vegetarische Entsprechung) einzunehmen; in der Lage sein, die Wohnung ausreichend zu heizen; Zugang zu einer Waschmaschine haben; im Besitz eines Farbfernsehers sein; im Besitz eines Telefons sein; im Besitz eines Autos sein.

Field to fork: global food miles generate nearly 20% of all CO2 emissions from food https://perma.cc/B7UH-2EZD
Food miles are measured as tonne-kilometres (tkm), the transport of 1 tonne of food over 1km – the distance travelled multiplied by the mass of the transported food item.

This indicates that transport accounts for 19% of total food system emissions. The transport of fruit and vegetables contributes 36% of food miles emissions – around twice the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) released during their production.

To mitigate the environmental impact of food, a shift towards plant-based foods must be coupled with more locally produced items, mainly in affluent countries.

So yes, obviously more food miles means more pollution, especially if such food is transported via planes instead of ships, but
a) remember that there are hybrid and electric ships too! and Norway is one of the leading country for that, for example Verdens første hybride lasteskip til kai ved Trondheim Havn https://perma.cc/C3TU-LZNP

b) remember that Avocado and other things get eaten even by not vegans! is not just a vegan food ...
c) remember that behind the meat there is much more pollution! especially if you waste such meat, instead of eating that. You even need to transport the food for the animals via ship!
d) remember that there is not just pollution due to food transport! Plus we import meat too! (especially if you buy cheap meat).
