I was curious what these numbers look like if people get their extra calories from carbs instead of animal products:

- A 100g cooked serving of pasta has 131 calories [1] - This random website claims that a 100g serving of pasta generates 0.58 lb CO2 equivalent emissions - To get 90 calories we need ~69g of pasta - This gives 0.4lb CO2e per mile when walking under pasta power

I'm not sure if the CO2 estimation for pasta is using a cooked weight or a dry weight, so I chose the worst-case scenario. If that CO2e number is applied to 100g of _dry_ pasta, the numbers get way better.
