Politico contributor and climate journalist Michael Grunwald traveled to Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Wednesday to promote his new book, where he attacked eating meat as bad for the environment.
Host-of-the-week Michael Kosta began, “This book, a five-year project, and you discuss in the introduction, it started when you had a simple question and you called someone for help. ‘Is meat really this bad for the climate?’”
Grunwald insisted the answer was obvious, “Yeah. Yeah. And the answer was yes. Duh. Yeah, I mean, I was an energy and climate guy, I had written a piece about my own green life. I had gotten an all-electric Chevy Volt. I put solar panels on my roof. And I had a line, kind of a throwaway line, about how I wasn't some kind of eco-saint. I was doing it because clean energy was cheap, that I didn't line-dry my laundry, you know, I didn't unplug my computer at night. I still eat meat.”
