The Food Waste Effect chart shows the percentage of food wasted in each category as shown in the previous chart above times the full life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions for a food. (Source: Meat-Eater’s Guide to Climate Change and Health by the Environmental Working Group)

It shows that the most effective way to reduce food waste is to focus on lamb, beef, cheese, pork, and salmon. Either don’t buy these products at all or make sure to use what little you do buy. Even small scraps from a restaurant meal are worth bringing home to use as a garnish or flavoring if they replace meat you otherwise would have purchased.

Eggs have the lowest Food Waste Effect score because only 2% are wasted and industrial egg facilities are brutally efficient. The crowded hens are often fed the by-products from other operations, including “meal” made from feathers, bone, blood, or fish. Despite the low score, I don’t recommend eating eggs for health reasons and out of concern for the chickens, including male chicks who are killed shortly after they hatch. If you do eat eggs, please get them from backyard chickens or from pastured chickens who live on an integrated sustainable farm. Milk also has a relatively low FWE score but raises similar concerns.
