Where's the Beef?
Roni Neff explains how the media miss the story on food's connection to climate change

Ask most people about the causes of climate change, and they shoot a stern glance at gas-guzzling cars and SUVs. But while Hummers do plenty of damage, hamburgers may be even more at fault. Recent research concludes that agriculture -- especially meat production -- spews more greenhouse gases than the transportation sector. Why don't people more readily consider food when they're thinking about climate change? Johns Hopkins researcher Roni Neff has been studying just that very question. Her conclusion: The media have largely failed to cover food's connection to climate change. Anna Lappé recently caught up with Neff to discuss her just-released study on media coverage of the food/climate connection.
