C 4. 5.A(56.9% tested In 01 Band 2) (2-7B) Vegetarians may be healthier, but meat eaters do more for the environment. A survey of the energy used to produce and distribute various foods such as sweets, ice cream, potato chips and white bread are among the most energy-efficient-and so least polluting-foods in our diet. Tea, coffee, tomatoes, lad vegetables and white fish, on the other hand, are environmentally unfriendly David Coley and colleagues of the Center for Energy and the Environment at the University of Exeter have analyzed how much energy from fuel is used in the complete production cycle of food in a typical shopping basket. The analysis includes the manufacture and application of fertilizers and other chemicals, harvesting, processing, packaging, transport and waste disposal In a study of the diets of more than 2000 people, they found that it takes around 18000 megajoules (yEmE) of energy each year to get a typical Briton's food to the table This is almost six times the energy contained in the food itself. In all, the process consumes almost a tenth of the national energy budget, adding 15 million tons of carbon to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) The study will trouble those trying to be both healthy and green. The most energy-consumed item coffee, which requires 177MJ of energy to produce IMJ of food intake( Ix). But typical salad vegetables require 45 MJ and white fish 36, compared to 8 MJ for beef and burgers, 7 for chicken and 6 for lamb, while fresh fruit consumes between 10 and 22 MJ, crisps, white bread and ice cream are all right at the bottom of the table, consuming less than I MJ each Meat does well because it is not highly processed, provides a lot of calories and is often grown locally, says Coley.
