The U.S. had calories counts in all foods, but what about carbon? At breakfast in my Brussels Hotel this morning, I was surprised to see a listing the carbon intensityof all the options. I took a sample of photos in case anyone was interested. According to the hotel, cheese is more than double the carbon intensity of turkey. Fruit is super low. No idea about the methodology, but kudos to Doubletree for putting it out there. #sustainablefood #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefinance #esginvesting Eurasia Group Katharine Starr #greenhotel #greenbuildings #ecotourism

We need massive supply chain changes backed by international agreements between countries to enable this transition to happen. The issue of climate change is more a question of dysfunctional leadership rather than an actual challenge.
Seems there could be a link between carbon intensity and health!
Look at you digging up the carbon scoop! Coffee has more carbon than cheese.....I choose not to look.
Fascinating. So curious that eggs are that high. The rest made sense intuitively.
So interesting - thanks for sharing!
Wow!!

1moInteresting labeling. A question and a comment: Q: What are the units? Eg for scrambled eggs, is that one egg’s worth, a scoop, a full serving however that’s defined? Oddly, the calorie count for the same unit is missing…as that will help with the carbon impact of nutritional efficiency. How much watermelon would one have to eat just to get enough calories (ignoring balance)? C: Tuna salad for b’fast?! 🧐
