Every Chinese person also wants, and with time can afford to eat more meat

And you thought you were so cunning here alone. That ability to buy meat has its price for all of us.

"Food production results in emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other planet-warming gases in many ways, including land clearing and deforestation for agriculture and grazing, digestion by cattle and other livestock, production and use of fertilizers and the cultivation of rice in flooded paddies. Overall emissions are equivalent to about 16 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, or about 30 percent of total global emissions.

The researchers forecast how emissions would change in coming decades as the world population grows, diets and consumption patterns change as some countries become more affluent, and crop yields increase. They found that food-related emissions alone would quite likely result in the world exceeding the 1.5 degree Celsius limit in 30 to 40 years. Food emissions alone would bring the world close to the 2-degree limit by 2100."

The price of meat must include carbon dioxide, methane and other global warming gases emitted during production. The price of meat must include the cost of removing these harmful gases emitted during its production. Same with all other foods. Do you like to eat delicious and cheap? Now you will love to eat delicious and expensive. Did you give all your money to Landsbergis, Numas-Numavičius and Mockus?
