Lea Michele Always Had Lighter Footprint By Never Eating Red Meat

Growing up in her Italian family, actress Lea Michele‘s meals must have consisted of lots of formaggio, but no carne.
Even though today she’s pretty much vegan, the Glee star also confesses she’s never eaten a piece of red meat in her life. Michele, who was scheduled to get a glimpse of Stella McCartney‘s vegetarian fashions in Paris, France recently, said, “I do a lot of work with PETA. I’m mostly vegan and I’ve never eaten red meat, so a brand that is beautiful without harming animals is my idea of fashion-forward.”
You could say she already had a significant lighter footprint before she gave up other animal products. While it’s ideal to give up all meat, just giving up red meat can have a major beneficial impact on the environment.
Good.is recently highlighted a graph included in a paper by Weber and Mathews of Carnegie Mellon University, which lists the impact of various forms of food and beverage on the environment, from the production to delivery to retail end. From the graph below, you can see that red meat produces more carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane emissions.
