Pretty much what I thought of too... my guess is that it was written by a vegan, made up as they went along. I can find something wrong with everything everyone eats. When you start seeing "you shouldn't eat this because someone at the factory got sick," you're reading a reach that someone is using to pad the article.
Don't drink water unless it comes directly from a stream in your back yard so you don't have to drive anywhere to get it, or exhale more than three cubic meters of CO2 when you retrieve it.

I don't know that this was written by a vegan, but it definitely overreaches. So I shouldn't eat apples because many of them are treated with pesticides? Hell, I have apple trees in my back yard, they are not pesticide treated, and I will gladly eat them whenever I have a hankering.
Bottom line, eat local and eat organic if you can. Cook from scratch, it's way cheaper, tastier and healthier too. Growing your own is better still, gives you food, exercise and satisfaction, although most folks can't grow enough on their land to sustain them completely.
There, that last paragraph would never make a news story, but it's probably 95% of what you need to know.

This little jewel tickled me: "Food that requires intensive storage or cooking: Any food that needs to be frozen or heated in an energy-intensive way is not environmentally friendly."
So we eat raw veggies and raw meat. No freezing, no cooking.
Here's a suggestion for the idiot who wrote the article: Buying and using a computer to spew bullsh!t on the internet is not "environmentally friendly."

I'm all for preserving the environment, but C'mon!!! Why not just do "The foods you CAN eat to save the environment?" The list would have been no more than 10 items probably.

I can't believe that so far 77 people have voted for it, my guess would be that the only people that read it are the ones who have posted here saying WTF??

So, did anybody else notice that #s 10 & 11 on the list are "conventionally raised foods" and "organic foods", with the accompanying contradictory information? This effectively eliminates ALL food - so according to the author, the only responsible thing for the conscientious to do is to STOP EATING - that's right, according to the author the entire human race must starve itself to death in order to never again do any harm to the earth. The author isn't a vegan, if anything, he's a militant animal rights activist. Or, more likely, the article is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the ridiculous nature of the American Food Police.
