Might ask: does the environmental footprint of your diet enter into your calculations anywhere?

Do you know how many tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions you are responsible for?

Given that your diet seems to involve a lot of very high environmental impact foods, my theory is that you're going to answer, "No - the footprint of what I eat is not a great concern for me, at least not enough to make me change my behavior in the slightest."

If that's the case, my second question is this - how do you justify this? Do you think that the climate emergency is someone else's problem? Or that it's a conspiracy amongst scientists?

As a writer, surely you should be wanting to set the best example for others. Please explain.
