Will eating less meat save the planet?

Re Turning the tables, Jan. 23

There is some positive feedback about the new Canada food guide, not only from nutritionists, but from people concerned with global warming. At the same time the new food guide was released, meetings were taking place at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. As was reported in the Guardian, “experts predicted up to 1,500 private jets will fly to and from airfields serving the Swiss ski resort this week, up 11 per cent from last year.”

As these “indispensable ones” fly back to their respective countries we will no doubt be told we must make sacrifices to ensurethis spinning blue ball will be safe for future generations. John McCullagh, Sudbury
