its wierd that it is compared by CO2/mass, it would make more sense per callories or some important nutrients.

I shared this in a comment recently and I'm wondering if it led to this post.

Eat less meat, please! Not asking anyone to be vegan, just eat less meat.

How much of an overlap is there between milk, cheese, and beef? They're all coming from cows, but are they being calculated separately here? There are also gelatin and leather and other non-food products that come from cows. If there is a way to reduce that methane output, then it would be a lot more reasonable and it seems possible since it's impacted greatly by diet.

Dairy cows and beef cows are different breeds. There’s hardly any overlap worth mentioning. For the purposes of these kinds of reports, they might as well be different species.

From the article:

Meat production from dairy cows is a significant component of beef production, accounting for almost 10% of U.S. commercial beef production.

10% isn't "hardly any overlap worth mentioning". Even if it was, it doesn't address the overlap between milk and cheese.

I didn't think coffee and chocolate would be so high.

I wonder where tea falls there?
