Debra Ray, on The Debra Ray Show, read from a news article at the link below.

"We say that however close you can be to a vegan diet and further from the mean American diet, the better you are for the planet. It doesn't have to be all the way to the extreme end of vegan. If you simply cut down from two burgers a week to one, you've already made a substantial difference," explain researchers Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin, assistant professors in Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago.
