What is the carbon footprint of a dog?
Having a medium sized dog as a pet has the same carbon footprint as running two SUVs, or four-wheel drives. This is largely because of the amount of meat they eat.
Does food contribute to global warming?
Most food has a carbon footprint. This means that the production, transport and even cooking release some carbon emissions. If you eat apples that are grown on the other side of the world, that apple has a small global footprint from all the transport that carried it from its tree to your mouth. If you eat an apple that grew in your garden then its carbon footprint is very small (fertiliser, water), or even neutral.

What types of carbon molecules are the source for most of the energy in the foods you eat?
Carbohydrates
What has the greatest affect on metabolism?
The type of foods you eat and the amount of exercise
Is it possible to not produce carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is produced by our life processes, in the manufacture of everything we own, in all the motorized transportation that we use and in all the non-plant foods that we eat. It is not possible to produce (or be responsible for the production of) a zero emission of carbon dioxide. By minimizing transportation, buying "green", recycling, not using heating or cooling systems more than necesasry and all the ways available to cut our "carbon footprint" we can minimize our impact.
What is global warming and how does the production of food contribute to it?
Global warming is the rising temperature all over the world, caused largely by the burning of coal oil and natural gas (the fossil fuels), which puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and extra carbon is causing global warming. Most food has a carbon footprint. This means that the production, transport and even cooking release some carbon emissions. If you eat apples that are grown on the other side of the world, that apple has a global footprint from all the water and fertilizer used to grow it and transport that carried it from its tree to your mouth. If you eat an apple that grew in your garden then its carbon footprint is very small (fertilizer, water), or even neutral.
What types of carbon based molecules are the source for most of the energy in the foods you eat?
Carbohydrates
Do junk foods affect in pregnancy?
Yes it can. When pregnant it is important to eat health. You can eat junk food but not too much.
What sort of foods can give you diabetes or is this just a fallacy?
Diabetes can affect what foods you eat, but is not caused by certain foods. It is a result of pancreatic insufficiency, or hormonal changes or genetics.
What meat is better to eat for a low carbon footprint?
If you want to eat an animal with a low carbon footprint there are several things you need to consider: # The distance the food has travelled from where the animal was raised (and then slaughtered) to where you are. For example, I live in London, there are lots of sheep in the UK, if I ate British Lamb I can be fairly sure that it has a lower carbon footprint than New Zealand lamb. # The amount of energy expended during it's lifetime to keep it alive. It takes proportionally a great deal more energy to raise a cow than it does a sheep or a chicken. I believe beef is one of the least efficient ways to turn plants into energy. So, to eat an animal with a low carbon footprint you need to find something that is sourced locally and preferably not raised using inefficient farming methods. I would suggest that line-caught fish (if you live near the sea) or free range chicken (locally sourced) would be a good option for you.
