Mary Vincent founded Gratitude Gourmet in May 2008. Many of you know that food choices have a significant impact on global health, well-being, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and our Oceans. The United Nations Climate Change Report states that animal agriculture causes more greenhouse gases (GHG) than transportation: 18 percent of worldwide GHG. UK hospitals are now cutting meat to cut carbon, the UK is introducing a low carbon food labeling system, and Ghent, Belgium is going vegetarian once a week. The medical journal, The Lancet, published health and climate benefits by reducing livestock production by 30%. Check out Bon Appétit Management's Online Food Carbon Calculator in my interview with Bon Appétit's CEO.  Water use is also an important consideration; it takes 1000 liters of water to produce 1 liter of milk.
If we can change a light bulb, we can change our food practices to help our planet and our health today. Stay connected through Facebook and Twitter and tell your friends! Thanks very much for your support.  Mary Vincent
