Meatless Monday: Southwest Riblet Sandwich
If the global population shifted to a low meat diet that consisted of 70 grams of beef and 325 grams of chicken/eggs per week, about 15 square kilometers of farmland would be freed.
This new space could be used grow vegetation that would counter CO2, or to grow bioenergy crops that would displace fossil fuels. You can read more about how this kind of diet would affect farmland here.
Just by slightly altering a meal, we can make a world of difference. So let’s see what kind of meatless meal we can make this week!
This week’s recipe incorporates Morningstar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblets, which can be found in the frozen food aisle of many grocery stores.
