  to some degree maybe, but even a doubling for most of these things still puts them way way way below the emissions of beef.

  but things like beans are trivial to grow on a small local scale, if you can get your food from local farmers that aren’t using 500 tractors and tons of artificial fertilizer then it’s hard to even theoretically do better.
