Bicycling wastes gas ?

The idea is that eating some foods, like meat, uses more fossil fuel than driving a car, so a bicyclist consuming food uses more fossil fuel than driving a car. bicycleuniverse.info

I don't know where a sedentary person who gorges on meat and drives a full-sized SUV fits into all of this...


  • Meat requires much more fossil fuel to produce than vegetables and grains; about 145 times more for beef than for potatoes.

  • If the entire world ate the way the U.S. does, the planet's entire petroleum reserves would be exhausted in 13 years

  • The typical American could save almost as much gas by going vegetarian as by not driving.
