Does your salivary glands flood themselves to glory when you see a country chicken flies away in a confused state, much to evocate the way bikers grace the Indian roads?
If you do get crazy over fried legs of a chicken or roasted pair of wings think again, eating chicken or for that matter any form of non-vegetarian food would help you add to the global carbon foot print.
According to this article 18% of world's total carbon emissions are due to meat production. Every stage of meat production, ranging from clearing forest for farms to burining fossil fuel for farm vehicles to animal wastes contribute to this 18%.
So friends, next time you lay your greedy hand on a plate of yummy chicken biryani, think again.

only 18%...should start making it 14 times a week!!!
for that matter even vegetarian food increases the carbon foot print from clearing forests to burning fuel for vehicles to we consuming the greenery. This accounts to more than 18%. psrrrr!!! ellllla!!!!
Yeah, true. If you consider the carbon foot print from only the production, may be you are right.
But animal wastes are the biggest contributors for this. Cow dung is very rich in Methane which is about 23 times as effective as CO2 in Green House effect.
Moreover, shifting from NV leads to a healthy life style and is beneficial in many ways and it is proved and well known fact which does not require citings.
