46% of America's food-based emissions come from 1/5 of the population

I haven't read,but given the different in mass between kids and adults, I'm not suprised

Cool study and thanks for sharing! To frame this and provide more context - according to the EPA, agriculture contributes to 9% of GHG Emissions in the US (as of 2017). Americans eating too much meat is definitely something to explore, but if we want to make the biggest impact on GHG emissions we have other sectors to improve on first.
