How much Oil are you eating?

Beardy Guy Musings

Living and working in a tiny house the woods. I freelance as Beardy Guy Creative where I design and create websites, newsletters, annual reports and and all manner of graphics and documents. I experiment with ways to live a low impact life and write about the climate emergency, Apple and the iPad. Lately I've also been posting often about Israel's genocide against the Palestinians. Living on the traditional territory of: - O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ (O-ga-xpa) (Quapaw) - Očhéthi Šakówiŋ - Kaskaskia - Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo)

Ianqui over at the Oil Drum provides a nice introduction to Our oil-laden food chain:

Just to get started, according to this estimate, the food production system uses 17% of all of the fossil fuel consumed in the US.

When it comes to diet and oil I have two suggestions. First, I’d like to encourage folks to adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet. Second, start a garden and grow as much food as you can for yourself. Adopt these two and you will be happier and healthier.
