I remembered that article all wrong. I mixed it up with something else. This is the article with the stats on how much food we waste at the consumer level. "When Americans throw out an estimated 204 million pounds of turkey meat this Thanksgiving, they will also be wasting the 1 million tons of carbon dioxide and 95 billion gallons of water used to produce that turkey." Humans are not gentle on the earth's resources, needless to say. http://www.greatenergychallengeblog.com/blog/2011/11/22/the-hidden-poundage-of-turkey-day/ Andy
