Dumb article. Completely conflates *bread* with all agriculture. Little of the article actually deals with the relatively small amount of bread we eat versus other food and of course, argues that agriculture is "42%" of all GHG. I suppose this includes cattle raising as well, which would be 96% of *that* number. And where the hell does this "46%" come from anyway? The EPA in the US estimates it's 5.8%. According to *Planet Experts* web site "World Resources Institute (WRI) and the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (UN FAO) place the estimate between 14 and 18 percent of all anthropogenic GHG emissions." 46% my ass. That slice of stupid slice of bread contributes about .2% of a U.S. citizens GHG contribution. Are there not more important things to discuss????
