Carbon Glutton Fail

March 25, 2009

A few nights ago, I stopped at the supermarket on my way home to pick up some ground beef. As discussed in a previous post, eating meat is one of the most effective methods of contributing to global warming. So I was understandably proud of myself. As I was leaving the meat department, I looked in horror at this sign:

That’s right, apparently some Carbon Glutton-friendly supermarkets use CO2 to preserve the color of the meat. Sadly, I picked the one store that didn’t. To make matters worse, I didn’t have time to run to another store that was more friendly to the carbon-spewing lifestyle. Yes, I have failed you.
